more GRAVITY?

Beyond the boundaries of established science an avalanche of exotic ideas compete for our attention. Experts tell us that these ideas should not be permitted to take up the time of working scientists, and for the most part they are surely correct. But what about the gems in the rubble pile? By what ground-rules might we bring extraordinary new possibilities to light?

more GRAVITY?

Ah, come on.

Just a wee bit of humor. If we take all the craniums of all the scientists and fill them with liquid
lead, then velcro a north pole in one ear and a south pole in the other ear and then screw a light
bulb in each ear, what do you think we would get.
Oh ok, they would still be attached to their bodies.

There is no such thing as 'neutron stars'.

Why not just use intrinsic redshift.

Interesting piece there on the Shapiro effect:

It begs a question.
There is simply no mechanism for accelerating a photon once its velocity has been reduced by a gravitational force! With every gravitational force it encounters, no matter how small, a photon will continue to decelerate and lose energy. I call this “gravity drag”, which was also named by famous astronomer Fritz Zwicky many years ago.
If gravity cannot accelerate a photon, then how does it decelerate a photon?

Acceleration and deceleration are the same thing, they are both a change in velocity.
Just opposite vectors of the force which is causing the change in velocity.
Isn't it?

Gravity can accelerate a photon. Measuring blue-shift of light being projected down a tower was the basic outline of the Pound-Rebka experiment:

I am not sure if the Shapiro effect is different to this though?

Can anybody tell me where in their calculations they accounted for the velocity differential between the top and bottom of the tower?

That paper says nothing about my question. The top of the tower has a demonstrably different velocity than the bottom of the tower.
