"There are several ways to interpret such a physical situation:
A) the photon gains energy by falling in the gravitational field.
B) the photon is blueshifted due to its travel between heights in
the gravitational field.
C) the energy scales of atom and detector are different, due to
their difference in gravitational potential; the photon does not
change energy (or frequency) during its journey, but it registers more
energy in the detector due to change of scale (time scales also
differ).
All three interpretations are valid, and correspond to using different
coordinate systems to describe the physical situation. So one cannot
say unambiguously that the photon does or does not change energy, does
or does not change frequency, or that the scale of energy does or does
not change with height.
At base, the difference is due to the non-local nature of this
physical situation in the gravitational field, and the difficulty
(inherent ambiguity) in GR of describing non-local situations. This is
traceable to the problems of doing integrals on curved manifolds, and
the result is that energy is conserved only locally in GR.
But there is an approximation that is often appropriate: if a system
is localized in spacetime and has no outside interactions, then one
can draw a closed boundary containing the system, with no energy or
momentum crossing the boundary and the manifold is asymptotically flat
there -- then inside the boundary the total energy and momentum are
conserved. This applies to the original three situations, but one
cannot draw such a boundary between the emitter and the detector in
this last situation." Tom Roberts

"Hermann Minkowski's famous lecture held in Cologne on September 21,
1908 was a milestone on the way to our modern understanding of space
and time. In it Minkowski laid bare the mathematical core of the
special theory of relativity - the unification of space and time into
four-dimensional spacetime. Although at first sceptical, Einstein soon
adopted this point of view and constructed with its help his theory of
general relativity, in which gravitation is interpreted as a
manifestation of spacetime geometry. The general theory of relativity
provides the basis of our physical world view at the non-quantum
level, and its applications range from cosmology to everyday life.
However, modifications in our understanding of space and time are
expected to emerge from a more fundamental theory that unifies
gravitation with quantum theory; promising candidates are quantum
general relativity and string theory. In the history of science,
Minkowski's lecture can be interpreted as the end point of a
development in geometry. It marks the transition from space as a
unique concept in the sense of traditional Euclidean geometry to space
as a model. In this new paradigm, many different spaces are
considered, and the most appropriate one is selected. In our
centennial conference, concepts of space and spacetime will be
addressed from the points of views of physics, mathematics, and the
history of science. We aim to do justice to Minkowski's great
contribution. On the one hand, the historical development and in
particular Minkowski's contribution will be discussed; on the other
hand, we shall highlight the concept of spacetime in modern physics
and mathematics as well as possible modifications in future theories,
notably quantum gravity. The conference will be strongly
interdisciplinary and should be attractive, in particular, for
undergraduate and graduate students of the considered disciplines, but
also for more senior scientists."

Hermann Minkowski and The Scandal of Spacetime
Scott Walter
"Unlike Poincaré, Einstein famously excluded the ether from physics,
and defined time and space coordinates in terms of ideal rods and
clocks in inertial frames. I A clock transported with constant speed v
around a closed
curve would show a lag of 1/2t(v/c)^2 seconds with respect to a clock
at rest, initially sychronized with the mobile clock. For Einstein,
this was just another "peculiar consequence" of his kinematic
assumptions, offering him no further insight to the theory of space
and time (Einstein, 1905, p. 904)."

Minkowski space-time: a glorious non-entity
Brown, Harvey R. and Pooley, Oliver
Those "scandal of spacetime", "glorious non-entity" and numerous hints
at abandoning Minkowski's idiocy clearly show that now all
Einsteinians know that Einstein's 1905 light postulate is false.
However the 100 years old verbiage developed in Einstein criminal cult
will continue to be perfect camouflage, perhaps forever.

Here is my Extended Abstract, as submitted:
Teaching Special Relativity: Minkowski trumps Einstein
Richard Conn Henry
Henry A. Rowland Department of Physics and Astronomy The Johns Hopkins
University
"There is no doubt that, historically, Albert Einstein, in 1905, did
introduce two postulates (and also, that it is he who discovered
special relativity). But the second of these postulates (the one
concerning the constancy of c, just in case Reese has confused you!)
did not survive the year. In September of 1905 Einstein published a
development from relativity--the discovery of the implication that E =
mc2 , and in this new paper he mentions a single postulate only. But
the paper contains a sweet footnote: "The principle of the constancy
of the velocity of light is of course contained in Maxwell's
equations." How I love that "of course!" Einstein was human! I do not
know if it is true, but I recall being told that during the Middle
Ages undergraduates learned to multiply and divide using Roman
numerals, while the exotic Arabic numerals were reserved for the more
advanced students. That is exactly what we do today in teaching
special relativity. Antique postulates that are not of anything but
historical interest to genuine physicists are presented to students as
"Special Relativity." Some books do better than others in warning
students how seemingly impossible the second postulate is; but all
have the students working out true but unintuitive consequences (e.g.
relativity of simultaneity) using thought experiments with of course
the second postulate producing the bizarre result. A small number of
texts (Ohanian, Knight, a few others) at least follow Einstein's
second paper in having but a single postulate; but none do what needs
to be done, which is to drop Einstein and adopt Minkowski. I feel that
the time has come to relegate the "two postulates" to the dustbin of
history, and to teach special relativity to undergraduates (or indeed,
to middle school students) the Minkowski way."

"Une histoire conceptuelle des mirages gravitationnels"
Résumé : "Nous examinons de façon critique l'histoire conceptuelle des
premières idées concernant la déflexion de la lumière produite par
l'action de la gravitation dans le contexte des mirages
gravitationnels, découverts en 1979. Contrairement a l'idée fort
répandue qui considère Newton comme le précurseur, une lecture
attentive de son traite "Opticks" démontre que la première "Query" ne
concerne pas la déflexion gravitationnelle. Nous traçons l'histoire de
cette légende qui perdure jusqu'à nos jours et montrons les rôles de
Voltaire, Marat, Cavendish et Soldner dans la caractérisation du
phénomène. Les premiers calculs de l'effet de lentille
gravitationnelle apparaissent dans les carnets d'Einstein en 1912 et
ne furent jamais publiés. Le court article de Chwolson en 1924 montre,
sans calculs, le concept de formation d'images par une lentille
gravitationnelle et passa inapercu, tout comme les estimations
d'Eddington. Le véritable, mais oublié, pionnier du sujet fut
Frantisek Link qui non seulement publia les premiers calculs détaillés
de l'effet (neuf mois avant l'article "fondateur" d'Einstein dans la
revue Science en 1936), mais aussi prédit les effets produits par des
lentilles binaires, des sources doubles, et la taille finie des
sources. Link prédit également que l'effet de microlentille
gravitationnelle serait plus facile à détecter dans les champs denses
d'étoiles, ce qui fut confirmé experimentalement en 1993. Les calculs
de Link sont bien plus détaillés que ceux réalisés par Tikhov et
Bogorodsky pendant ces mêmes années. Nous discuterons également les
articles des années 1960-1970 qui marquèrent le renouveau de ce sujet
purement théorique avant la découverte de la première lentille
gravitationnelle en 1979, ainsi que les travaux, publiés ou pas, des
années 1980 sur la détection d'objets sombres dans les halos de
galaxies par l'effet de microlentille gravitationnelle."

Roberts Roberts your criminal brother John Baez has abandoned
relativity, quantum gravity etc. and is now extracting money from the
global warming but 14 years ago he was still a member of Einstein
criminal cult and was camouflaging the fatal variability of the speed
of light in a gravitational field in the following way:
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics/browse_frm/thread/285b377fd7945c22/92d7baf4ffcae461?tvc=1#92d7baf4ffcae461
On February 23, 1994, Hartmut Frommert wrote in sci.physics:

JOHN BAEZ replied: "This is darn misleading. The speed of light is
constant in GR, it's just that the spacetime the light is moving
around in is a bit wiggly. Of course, one *could* think of it the way
you suggest, but one would have to say, not just that the speed of
light was different in a "gravitational field," but that all other
laws of physics were different too, in a fairly complicated manner."
You see, Roberts Roberts, 14 years ago Baez was lying rather
carelessly. The good old days! Your mission now is so difficult
Roberts Roberts! Almost impossible! But that is normal - after all,
you decided to join Einstein criminal cult only 15 years ago:

Einsteinians at UCLA use specific verbiage in order to camouflage the
fact that, even according to Maxwell's theory of light, the speed of
light is VARIABLE - it depends on the speed of the OBSERVER relative
to the aether:
http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/relatvty.htm
Ned Wright: "But 200 years after Newton the theory of electromagnetism
was developed into Maxwell's equations. These equations describe waves
with a speed of 1/sqrt(epsilon_o*mu_o), where epsilon_o is the
constant describing the strength of the electrostatic force in a
vacuum, and mu_o is the constant describing the strength of the
magnetic interaction in a vacuum. This is an absolute velocity -- it
is not relative to anything. The value of the velocity was very close
to the measured speed of light, and when Hertz generated
electromagnetic waves (microwaves) in his laboratory and showed that
they could be reflected and refracted just like light, it became clear
that light was just an example of electromagnetic radiation. Einstein
tried to fit the idea of an absolute speed of light into Newtonian
mechanics. He found that the transformation from one reference frame
to another had to affect the time -- the idea of sliding a deck of
cards had to be abandoned. This led to the theory of special
relativity. In special relativity, the velocity of light is special.
Anything moving at the speed of light in one reference frame will move
at the speed of light in all unaccelerated reference frames."
