Einsteinians who want to leave Einsteiniana's schizophrenic world
should also consider this:

"So, it is absolutely true that the speed of light is not constant in
a gravitational field [which, by the equivalence principle, APPLIES AS
WELL TO ACCELERATING (NON-INERTIAL) FRAMES OF REFERENCE]. If this were
not so, there would be no bending of light by the gravitational field
of stars....Indeed, this is exactly how Einstein did the calculation
in: 'On the Influence of Gravitation on the Propagation of Light,'
Annalen der Physik, 35, 1911. which predated the full formal
development of general relativity by about four years. This paper is
widely available in English. You can find a copy beginning on page 99
of the Dover book 'The Principle of Relativity.' You will find in
section 3 of that paper, Einstein's derivation of the (variable) speed
of light in a gravitational potential, eqn (3). The result is,
c' = c0 ( 1 + V / c^2 )
where V is the gravitational potential relative to the point where the
speed of light c0 is measured."

and ask the question: If the speed of light varies with the
gravitational potential in accordance with the equation c'=c(1+V/c^2),
how does it vary with the relative speed v of the light source (at the
moment of emission) and an observer belonging to an ACCELERATING (NON-
INERTIAL) FRAME OF REFERENCE (at the moment of reception)? They could
solve the problem in the following way:

A light source on top of a tower of height h emits light with
frequency f, speed c (relative to the source) and wavelength L. A
receiver on the ground receives light with frequency f', speed
c' (relative to the receiver) and wavelength L'. Einstein's 1911
solution gives:

f'=f(1+gh/c^2); c'=c(1+gh/c^2); L'=L

A rocket of length h accelerates with acceleration g. A light source
at the front end emits light with frequency f, speed c (relative to
the source) and wavelength L. A receiver at the back end receives
light with frequency f', speed c' (relative to the receiver) and
wavelength L'. At the moment of reception, the receiver has speed v
relative to the light source at the moment of emission. Einstein's
equivalence principle gives:

f'=f(1+v/c); c'=c+v; L'=L

Clearly, Einsteiniana's schizophrenic world should be abandoned.
