Tom Roberts Roberts Roberts your criminal brother John Baez has abandoned relativity, quantum gravity etc. and is now extracting money from the global warming but 14 years ago he was still a member of Einstein criminal cult and was camouflaging the fatal variability of the speed of light in a gravitational field in the following way: http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics/browse_frm/thread/285b377fd7945c22/92d7baf4ffcae461?tvc=1#92d7baf4ffcae461 On February 23, 1994, Hartmut Frommert wrote in sci.physics: >Though the natural constant "c" which is usually called the vacuum light >velocity (or speed) can only be changed by re-definition of units (as any >conversion factor), the (actual) speed of (the propagation of) light >(photons !) is NOT constant, e.g. in a gravitational field (see any textbook >on elementary General Relativity). JOHN BAEZ replied: "This is darn misleading. The speed of light is constant in GR, it's just that the spacetime the light is moving around in is a bit wiggly. Of course, one *could* think of it the way you suggest, but one would have to say, not just that the speed of light was different in a "gravitational field," but that all other laws of physics were different too, in a fairly complicated manner." You see, Roberts Roberts, 14 years ago Baez was lying rather carelessly. The good old days! Your mission now is so difficult Roberts Roberts! Almost impossible! But that is normal - after all, you decided to join Einstein criminal cult only 15 years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqhlQfXUk7w Tom Roberts (15 years ago): "Well sir, I have a silly walk and I'd like to obtain a Government grant to help me develop it....I think that with Government backing I could make it very silly."
