   University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign: "Consider a falling object. Its   
   speed increases as it is falling. Hence, if we were to associate a frequency   
   with that object the frequency should increase accordingly as it falls to   
   earth. Because of the    
   equivalence between gravitational and inertial mass, we should observe the   
   same effect for light. So lets shine a light beam from the top of a very tall   
   building. If we can measure the frequency shift as the light beam descends the   
   building, we should be    
   able to discern how gravity affects a falling light beam. This was done by   
   Pound and Rebka in 1960. They shone a light from the top of the Jefferson   
   tower at Harvard and measured the frequency shift. The frequency shift was   
   tiny but in agreement with the    
   theoretical prediction." https://courses.physics.illinois.edu/ph

   The UIUC professor has unwittingly revealed a simple truth fatal for   
   Einstein's physics but fundamental for future, Einstein-free physics:   
      
   In vacuum, speed of light and frequency vary proportionally while the   
   wavelength of light remains constant, in accordance with the formula   
      
   (speed of light) = (wavelength)(frequency)   
      
   The simple truth is also universal:   
      
   In vacuum, speed of light and frequency ALWAYS vary proportionally while the   
   wavelength of light ALWAYS remains constant (its value depends only on the   
   emitting substance).
