Baez Baez remember the good old days when Einstein schizophrenic world
was such a good place for criminals like you:

On February 23, 1994, Hartmut Frommert wrote in sci.physics:

On Feb 24, 1994, 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."

How could you lie so blatantly Baez Baez? Are you happy now?
