Likewise, matter (ie photons) at light speeds cannot normally slow S Simmondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13082268725118026028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22518525.post-1146474945652345452006-05-01T19:15:00.000+10:002006-05-01T19:15:00.000+10:00Hi C hereIf the speed of the photon is a constant ...Hi C here<BR/><BR/>If the speed of the photon is a constant - the speed of light, and its energy is downshifted into the infrared spectrum, this would imply that the speed of light is adjusted by the presence of a gravitational well. <BR/><BR/>This would imply that the speed of light is not the same within a gravitational well. <BR/><BR/>Other complications: A photon has zero mass, thus is Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
