Then, Roberts Roberts, discuss the textbook formula

frequency = (speed of light)/(wavelength)

In a gravitational field, the frequency varies with the gravitational
potential V in accordance with the equation

f' = f(1+V/c^2)

which is confirmed experimentally. The speed of light also varies with
the gravitational potential in accordance with Einstein's 1911
equation

c' = c(1+V/c^2)

As you can see Roberts Roberts, f'=f(1+V/c^2) and c'=c(1+V/c^2) are
consistent. However you say Einstein's 1911 equation c'=c(1+V/c^2) is
wrong but never give the correct equation. Why Roberts Roberts? Is
this some grand secret between hypnotists in Einstein criminal cult?
