Pound-Rebka was a test of gravitational redshift, not whether or not light
speeds up as it falls.

Do you have ANY EVIDENCE for your claim that light speeds up as it falls?

Because it doesn't. Light does not accelerate.

I'll pre-comment on your sputtering: you have no evidence that light travels
at anything other than c, while I have an abundance of evidence that it does
not.

Glad to know you stand by the things you say, no matter how stupid they are.

Closed orbits do not exist for eccentricities larger than 1.

No objections, I'm just enjoying the tag team kook fight.

Yes, the Pound-Rebka experiment.

Light travels at c wrt its source.
