"For example, if we synchronize two clocks, take one of them to the
top of a mountain for a while, and then bring it back to where the
other clock is, the clock that sat still will be running behind the
clock that was in the mountains - it was in a more accelerated frame,
and time passed more slowly there."

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."

Note that the two watches are placed at different gravitational
potentials (the alleged "gravitational time dilation" is a function of
the potential difference) but experience virtually the same
gravitational field. This means that, in Einsteiniana's wonderland,
identical clocks placed in identical physical surroundings run at
different rates, that is, there is an effect without cause.
Exceptionally clever Einsteinians such as Banesh Hoffmann have moments
of aberration in which they hit Einsteiniana even harder than the
worst antirelativists ever do. Below Banesh Hoffmann teaches that
gravitational time dilation simply does not exist; rather, something
"befalls light signals [their speed changes] as they traverse space
and time in the presence of gravitation":

Banesh Hoffmann: "In an accelerated sky laboratory, and therefore also
in the corresponding earth laboratory, the frequence of arrival of
light pulses is lower than the ticking rate of the upper clocks EVEN
THOUGH ALL THE CLOCKS GO AT THE SAME RATE. (...) As a result the
experimenter at the ceiling of the sky laboratory will see with his
own eyes that the floor clock is going at a slower rate than the
ceiling clock - EVEN THOUGH, AS I HAVE STRESSED, BOTH ARE GOING AT THE
SAME RATE. (...) THE GRAVITATIONAL RED SHIFT DOES NOT ARISE FROM
CHANGES IN THE INTRINSIC RATES OF CLOCKS. It arises from what befalls
light signals as they traverse space and time in the presence of
gravitation."

CLIMATE-GATE:

"As the Climategate scandal continues to broaden and as more
information is disclosed pointing to a stunning consortium of fraud,
false information, and shoddy science, it is becoming clear that laws
have been broken and that many nations around the world have lost
billions of dollars as a result."

How about the billions lost as a result of the centennial RELATIVITY-
GATE? The latest relativity fraud:

http://www.universetoday.com/2010/02/19/einsteins-general-relativity-tested-again-much-more-stringently/
"This time it was the gravitational redshift part of General
Relativity; and the stringency? An astonishing better-than-one-part-
in-100-million! How did Steven Chu (US Secretary of Energy, though
this work was done while he was at the University of California
Berkeley), Holger Müler (Berkeley), and Achim Peters (Humboldt
University in Berlin) beat the previous best gravitational redshift
test... (...) Gravitational redshift is an inevitable consequence of
the equivalence principle that underlies general relativity. The
equivalence principle states that the local effects of gravity are the
same as those of being in an accelerated frame of reference. So the
downward force felt by someone in a lift could be equally due to an
upward acceleration of the lift or to gravity. Pulses of light sent
upwards from a clock on the lift floor will be redshifted when the
lift is accelerating upwards, meaning that this clock will appear to
tick more slowly when its flashes are compared at the ceiling of the
lift to another clock. Because there is no way to tell gravity and
acceleration apart, the same will hold true in a gravitational field;
in other words the greater the gravitational pull experienced by a
clock, or the closer it is to a massive body, the more slowly it will
tick."

The formula:

(frequency) = (speed of light)/(wavelength)

acts like the face of Medusa the Gorgon. On seeing it, clever
Einsteinians get petrified and stop claiming that clocks "tick more
slowly" for a while. The reason is that, according to this formula,
the experimentally confirmed frequency shift f'=f(1+V/c^2), where V is
the gravitational potential, is consistent with a variation of the
speed of light obeying the equation c'=c(1+V/c^2) given by Newton's
emission theory of light and explicitly used by Einstein in 1911.
Clever Einsteinians know that, if the speed of light is variable in a
gravitational field, clocks simply cannot "tick more slowly".

Clever Einsteinians also know that, if clocks are to "tick more
slowly", the speed of light should be constant in a gravitational
field and, according to the petrifying formula, the wavelength L
should vary with the gravitational potential V in accordance with the
equation L'=L/(1+V/c^2) - an equation that is idiotic, not just
physically absurd.
