Algebraic techniques are employed to extend time in the complex plane. We then use the framework to examine the fundamental postulates of special relativity. Generalizing the notion of time introduces the reader to a unique perspective on the universality of light speed according to Einstein. In the context of complex time we will describe the mathematical conditions in which light speed universality arises. Using high level terminology we then develop a categorization scheme applicable to physical theories that assume light speed is universal.
