Is this Einstein the speed of light which he postulated?
The speed of light ; C^2=Acceleration on earth's surface times 1/3 divided by the mass curvature.
Does that mean that C^2 isdirectly proportional to gravity field and
inverserly proportional to the curvature of the gravitational mass? is this a new discovery?

Clarifications= the curvature of the mass of the earth is aprox=1.566781694 x10^-7
The sum total of the Gfield of the earth=4.224459484 x10^10
C = [Gfield/ (3 x curvature]^.5
C= [4.22445984x10^10/(3 x 1.56678194 x10^-7] ^.5 =2.997924345 x10 ^8 meter/sec

IsntThe permitivty of free space measured as an inverse force; Hence related to aField
since a Field is defined as a Force per unit mass.?

I don't pretend to fully understand Relativity. I believe Einstein predicted that TIME is slowed by gravity. It could be argued that the speed of everything (including light) is affected by slowing time.

No, the only thing that is affect is the lights mass. Yes, light has mass. His experiments showed how a star that should have been hidden by the moon, but the star showed up on the edge, during a lunar eclispe. The lights path was affected by the curvature of space by the moon. The speed of light was and is not affected.

The speed of light can be calculated with Maxwell's equations, which were instrumental in Einstein's gedanken (thought) experiments which led to he Theories of Relativity. I frankly do not understand the math but I have seen an explanation available on the web. It has to do with the permittivity of free space, not gravity. The same equations predict the speed of light for gravity waves, however.

No, Einstein figured out most of the repercussions of his relativistic theory of light. One thing about light speed in a gravity field he didn't originally figure out had to do with blackholes(no one knew about BHs when he first discovered relativism)....that generally, light can't escape from a BH because of the power of the intensity of the BH gravity field, except under certain circumstances dealing with Quantum Physics.

The speed of light actually varies a lot. It moves slower in some mediums and has actually been proven to move faster than 186,000 mi/sec (it's vacuum speed) in others. I'm sure a beam of light trying to climb out of the gravity well of a black hole would move very slowly. Whether your math is correct I don't know

This declare is unquestionably familiar via astronomers by using fact most of the information astronomers use is during the indisputable fact that easy’s velocity is persevering with, yet whilst a easy source is shifting faraway from you, then you definately see the easy’s wavelength get ‘redshifted’ or elongated without affecting the fee. A actual occasion is once you hear a motor vehicle honking its horn because it passes you. The horn seems to alter right into a decrease pitch because it passes you (it extremely is actual the elongation of the wavelength). As for the Michelson–Morley test (the Earth dealing with ether), it relatively is going to likely be extremely measurable. i think of via diagrammatically, you could have not taken into consideration the extreme speeds/distances in touch with the Earth. right here’s some rapid math: Earth-solar distance: a million.5*10^11 meters = r a million twelve months: 365.25 days = 3.14*10^7 seconds velocity = distance/time velocity = (2*pi*r) / (3.14*10^7) = over 30,000 meters according to 2nd, or 17 miles according to 2nd, or over 60,000 miles according to hour! If we are in a position to’t degree this distinction, i think of we are in worry. Time dilation is a effect of the fidelity of the fee of sunshine it extremely is amazingly detectable and has been mentioned many times. One occasion is our detection of muons. Technically, a muon’s lifespan (by using fact of degradation) should not be waiting to attain the floor of Earth, yet we stumble upon those issues >seven-hundred meters underground! the reason being time dilation! Their time is “dilated” whilst in comparison with ours. desire this enables…

The speed of light is not affected by gravitional forces, rather the wavelength of the light is slightly bent as it encounters the gravity of a celestial body.

C^2 isn't the speed of light, it's the speed of light squared.

It is certainly effected by gravity, that is why a black hole is able to consume light.

no because light those not have a mass. and the only objects affected by gravity are objects with a mass. the bigger the mass(weight) the more affected the object is by gravity.
