A simple experimental falsification of Einstein's general relativity. Consider the following two hypotheses:
Hypothesis 1: The speed of light falling towards the source of gravity varies like the speed of ordinary falling bodies (in the gravitational field of the Earth the acceleration of falling photons is g). Accordingly, the Pound-Rebka experiment confirms Newton's emission theory of light and refutes Einstein's relativity: http://www.wfu.edu/~brehme/space.htm Professor Robert W. Brehme: "Light falls in a gravitational field just as do material objects." http://courses.physics.illinois.edu/...ctures/l13.pdf University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign: "Consider a falling object. ITS SPEED INCREASES AS IT IS FALLING. Hence, if we were to associate a frequency with that object the frequency should increase accordingly as it falls to earth. Because of the equivalence between gravitational and inertial mass, WE SHOULD OBSERVE THE SAME EFFECT FOR LIGHT. So lets shine a light beam from the top of a very tall building. If we can measure the frequency shift as the light beam descends the building, we should be able to discern how gravity affects a falling light beam. This was done by Pound and Rebka in 1960. They shone a light from the top of the Jefferson tower at Harvard and measured the frequency shift. The frequency shift was tiny but in agreement with the theoretical prediction." http://www.einstein-online.info/spot...t_white_dwarfs Albert Einstein Institute: "One of the three classical tests for general relativity is the gravitational redshift of light or other forms of electromagnetic radiation. However, in contrast to the other two tests - the gravitational deflection of light and the relativistic perihelion shift -, you do not need general relativity to derive the correct prediction for the gravitational redshift. A combination of Newtonian gravity, a particle theory of light, and the weak equivalence principle (gravitating mass equals inertial mass) suffices. (...) The gravitational redshift was first measured on earth in 1960-65 by Pound, Rebka, and Snider at Harvard University..." Hypothesis 2: The speed of light falling towards the source of gravity DECREASES (in the gravitational field of the Earth the acceleration of falling photons is NEGATIVE, -2g). Accordingly, the Pound-Rebka experiment confirms Einstein's relativity and refutes Newton's emission theory of light. Clearly, Hypothesis 2 is absurd. The acceleration "-2g" was a fudge factor Einstein and his mathematical friends had to introduce in order to make the "theory" compatible with gravitational time dilation, a miraculous effect Einstein had fabricated in 1911.
