Bravo Vigilant Davidson! Yes the old text was trying to mislead
Einstein zombies into believing that Divine Albert was still alive in
1964! And that was a BLATANT LIE Vigilant Davidson! However the author
realized in the end that Einstein zombies are extremely clever,
nothing can mislead them etc. and abandoned the idea. The new text
clearly demonstrates the author's defeat:

"Irwin Shapiro, it seems, was the first to make use of a previously
forgotten facet of general relativity theory -- that the speed of
light is reduced when it passes through a gravitational field. He had
proposed an observational test to check his prediction: bounce radar
beams off the surface of Venus and Mercury, and measure the round trip
travel time. When the Earth, Sun, and Venus are most favorably
aligned, Shapiro showed that the expected time delay, due to the
presence of the Sun, of a radar signal traveling from the Earth to
Venus and back, would be about 200 microseconds more than it would if
the sun was not present. Later on, using the MIT Haystack radar
antenna, the experiment was repeated, matching Shapiro's predicted
amount of time delay. The experiments have been repeated many times
since, with increasing accuracy. This experiment had for the first
time shown that the constants like c and G, assumed constants in
Einstein's SR theory suffered local (or regional) in the proximity of
massive bodies like the sun. So, faced with this evidence most readers
must be wondering why we learn about the importance of the constancy
of speed of light. Did Einstein miss this? Sometimes I find out that
what's written in our textbooks is just a biased version taken from
the original work, so after searching within the original text of the
theory of GR by Einstein, I found this quote:"In the second place our
result shows that, according to the general theory of relativity, the
law of the constancy of the velocity of light in vacuo, which
constitutes one of the two fundamental assumptions in the special
theory of relativity and to which we have already frequently referred,
cannot claim any unlimited validity. A curvature of rays of light can
only take place when the velocity of propagation of light varies with
position. Now we might think that as a consequence of this, the
special theory of relativity and with it the whole theory of
relativity would be laid in the dust. But in reality this is not the
case. We can only conclude that the special theory of relativity
cannot claim an unlimited domain of validity ; its results hold only
so long as we are able to disregard the influences of gravitational
fields on the phenomena (e.g. of light)." - Albert Einstein
(1879-1955) - The General Theory of Relativity: Chapter 22 - A Few
Inferences from the General Principle of Relativity-. Today we find
that since the Special Theory of Relativity unfortunately became part
of the so called mainstream science, it is considered a sacrilege to
even suggest that the speed of light be anything other than a
constant. This is somewhat surprising since even Einstein himself
suggested in a paper "On the Influence of Gravitation on the
Propagation of Light," Annalen der Physik, 35, 1911, that the speed of
light might vary with the gravitational potential. Indeed, the
variation of the speed of light in a vacuum or space is explicitly
shown in Einstein's calculation for the angle at which light should
bend upon the influence of gravity. One can find his calculation in
his paper. The result is c'=c(1+V/c^2) where V is the gravitational
potential relative to the point where the measurement is taken . 1+V/
c^2 is also known as the gravitational redshift factor."

Is now the text OK, Vigilant Davidson?
