All observers measure the same speed of light,
no matter how any observer is moving.

The question is kind of awkward, though. It seems to say that
people were having a hard time accepting this postulate of relativity,
until Michelson and Morley came along and did their experiment, and
their results gave Relativity a boost.

Actually, Michelson and Morley did their famous experiment in 1887.
At the time, Einstein was only 8 years old, and Relativity was not even
a twinkle in his eye yet.

Two cars collide and come to a complete stop. where did all of their energy go?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Most of the energy will be absorbed by the materials that make up the cars, causing them to deform. The energy will also be converted into sound energy, causing a loud bang upon collision. Also, some energy will be converted to thermal energy, which will cause the cars to heat up slightly.
