The top of a tower of height h emits light with frequency f, speed c and wavelength L (as measured by the emitter):

f = c/L

An observer on the ground measures the frequency to be f'=f(1+gh/c^2) (confirmed by Pound and Rebka), the speed of light to be c' and the wavelength to be L':

f' = c'/L'

Crucial questions:

c' = ?

L' = ?

Newton's emission theory of light:

c' = c(1+gh/c^2)

L' = c'/f' = L

Einstein's general relativity:

c' = c(1+2gh/c^2)

L' = c'/f' L

The increase in wavelength (L'L) implied by general relativity is obviously absurd, which means that the Pound-Rebka experiment has confirmed Newton and refuted Einstein.

The only defence of general relativity consists in hiding the prediction c'=c(1+2gh/c^2). In the schizophrenic atmosphere of Divine Albert's world this defence is quite successful. Yet the collapse is unavoidable.
