If the observer is not in the same gravitational field as the observed
photon then c will be different:

The Hubble Sphere is enough showing GR is wrong.

Right, this is why GR will never be a law.

You're driving a car propelled by your own feet just like in the
Flintstones, because GR is not self-sufficient.

FR couldn't be disproved for a whole year against the entire world so I
think the likelihood of GR being right is pretty much null.

Well Phil, your opinion is not relevant. GR makes testable predictions that
are validated by observation. You have numerology.

Phil, you don't know what you are talking about when you babble about 'the
hubble sphere'. Hell, for some reason you think its' relevant to anomalous
dispersion in pulsar signaling.

So you can't answer the question?

a) Your numerology makes no testable predictions.
b) Your inability to be convinced your numerology is wrong is is irrelevant
to GR.

So you have not, and you are lying about it. Don't you have something else
to do, Phil?

The principle of relativity pertains to inertial reference frames,
Phil. Observers in non-inertial frames do not expect the principle of
relativity to apply.

What evidence do you have that the principle of relativity is wrong,
Phil?

What evidence is there that the speed of light in a vacuum is not c,
Phil? That's the other postulate.

? Even physical laws are not proven, Phil. Were you expecting that it
should be?

What you think doesn't matter, does it, Phil?
GR doesn't prove itself by disproving others. Did you expect it
should?

So you're basically saying SR works only as far as the MM experiment is
concerned and nothing else. SR is consequently quite useless...

> Phil?

- If you bring the MM experiment in orbit it won't work
- Many discrepancies in time dilation of incoming probes were observed
- GR not only doesn't explain the Hubble Sphere but doesn't even know
its own cosmological constant
- blah blah blah

See above.

This is quite a pathetic approach to solving problems if you can't even
prove your equations and your own sanity.
