In 1907 Einstein realized special relativity was wrong as he
discovered that the speed of light varied with the gravitational
potential:

http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/papers/OntologyOUP_TimesNR.pdf "What Can
We Learn about the Ontology of Space and Time from the Theory of
Relativity?", John D. Norton: "In general relativity there is no
comparable sense of the constancy of the speed of light. The constancy
of the speed of light is a consequence of the perfect homogeneity of
spacetime presumed in special relativity. There is a special velocity
at each event; homogeneity forces it to be the same velocity
everywhere. We lose that homogeneity in the transition to general
relativity and with it we lose the constancy of the speed of light.
Such was Einstein's conclusion at the earliest moments of his
preparation for general relativity. ALREADY IN 1907, A MERE TWO YEARS
AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE SPECIAL THEORY, HE HAD CONCLUDED THAT THE
SPEED OF LIGHT IS VARIABLE IN THE PRESENCE OF A GRAVITATIONAL FIELD."

At first sight, the fact that the speed of light varies with the
gravitational potential does not imply that Einstein's 1905 light
postulate:

ON THE ELECTRODYNAMICS OF MOVING BODIES By A. Einstein June 30, 1905:
"...light is always propagated in empty space with a definite velocity
c which is independent of the state of motion of the emitting body."

is FALSE, but Einstein knew in 1907 and clever Einsteinians know now
that it does imply so. It can be proved that the equation c'=c(1+V/
c^2), showing how the speed of light varies with the gravitational
potential V, and the equation c'=c+v, showing how the speed of light
varies with the relative speed of the light source and the observer v,
in the absence of a gravitational field, are EQUIVALENT.
