"Redshift - Does wavelength change?"

Silly Vesselin Petkov has discovered that the gravitational redshift
is due to the variation of the speed of light in a gravitational
field, in accordance with Einstein's 1911 equation c'=c(1+V/c^2), but
Criminal Tom Roberts fiercely confuses Silly Vesselin Petkov and does
not allow him to leave the zombie group in Einstein criminal cult and
become hypnotist.

Although Silly Vesselin Petkov was very close to the truth:

http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9810030v13
Silly Vesselin Petkov: "It has been overlooked that the wavelength of
a photon in the gravitational redshift experiment cannot change along
with its frequency due to the conservation of the photon momentum. As
both frequency and velocity change in this experiment the measurement
of a change in a photon frequency is in fact an indirect measurement
of a change in the photon local velocity."

Criminal Tom Roberts managed to confuse him irreversibly and now Silly
Vesselin Petkov is very far from the truth. Here is an Einsteinian
that Criminal Tom Roberts has not confused yet so this particular
Einsteinian is still very close to the truth:

http://www.blazelabs.com/f-g-gcont.asp "The first confirmation of a
long range variation in the speed of light travelling in space came in
1964. 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....Faced with this evidence, Einstein stated:"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."......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."

Dead right Pentcho
Einstein got away with this one because he merely put a gradient in space to
make light speed constant. Naturally he produced the same result...but in a
most complicated way...
The stupidity of GR is on par with that of earth centrism.
