Most Einsteinians know that the speed of light varies with the
gravitational potential and that Einstein discovered this in 1907,
gave the respective equation in 1911 and confirmed the effect once
more in 1920. Most Einsteinians also know that Einstein's 1911
equation c'=c(1+V/c^2) is EQUIVALENT to the equation c'=c+v given by
Newton's emission theory of light and therefore Einstein's 1905 light
postulate is just false. And Einsteinans devise various kinds of
camouflage - some are silly, others not so silly.

However there is a group of Extremely Silly Einsteinians (ESE) who
know the following: Special relativity says the speed of light is both
constant and maximal and this has been confirmed by the Michelson-
Morley experiment and any other experiment. In a gravitational field
the speed of photons should obey what special relativity says.
Examples of ESE:

ESE Stephen Hawking: "Both Mitchell and Laplace thought of light as
consisting of particles, rather like cannon balls, that could be
slowed down by gravity, and made to fall back on the star. But a
famous experiment, carried out by two Americans, Michelson and Morley
in 1887, showed that light always travelled at a speed of one hundred
and eighty six thousand miles a second, no matter where it came from.
How then could gravity slow down light, and make it fall back."

ESE Clifford Will, "THE RENAISSANCE OF GENERAL RELATIVITY": "The first
glimmerings of the black hole idea date to the 18th century, in the
writings of a British amateur astronomer, the Reverend John Michell.
Reasoning on the basis of the corpuscular theory that light would be
attracted by gravity, he noted that the speed of light emitted from
the surface of a massive body would be reduced by the time the light
was very far from the source. (Michell of course did not know special
relativity.)"
