Chapter 14: "The equivalence principle has a striking consequence
concerning the behavior of clocks in a gravitational field. It implies
that higher clocks run faster than lower clocks. If you put a watch on
top of a tower, and then stand on the ground, you will see the watch
on the tower tick faster than an identical watch on your wrist. When
you take the watch down and compare it to the one on your wrist, it
will show more time elapsed."

Two points:

1. The insignificant difference in field strength is irrelevant for
the effect predicted by Einsteinians (gravitational time dilation).
That is, the two watches can be regarded as placed in EXACTLY THE SAME
physical conditions and yet one of them proves slower than the other.
Effect without cause.

2. The effect predicted by Einsteinians (gravitational time dilation)
implicitly presupposes that the speed of light is CONSTANT in a
gravitational field. Yet all clever Einsteinians, even Divine Albert,
teach that the speed of light is VARIABLE in a gravitational field.
The scientific world is unable to see any contradiction.

It should also be noted that the scientific world sees as entirely
rational consequences of Einstein's 1905 light postulate according to
which the long train is short (if trapped inside a short tunnel), the
80m long pole is 40m long (if trapped inside a 40m long barn and
Einsteinians have forgotten to reopen the doors of the barn "pretty
quickly"), the bug is both dead and alive etc:

"These are the props. You own a barn, 40m long, with automatic doors
at either end, that can be opened and closed simultaneously by a
switch. You also have a pole, 80m long, which of course won't fit in
the barn....So, as the pole passes through the barn, there is an
instant when it is completely within the barn. At that instant, you
close both doors simultaneously, with your switch. Of course, you open
them again pretty quickly, but at least momentarily you had the
contracted pole shut up in your barn."
