New experiment suggests gravity changes light speed, potentially revising Einstein's theories

zmescience.com

A new experiment suggests gravity may change the speed of light, challenging a fundamental principle of physics. Physicist Enbang Li's research indicates light travels faster in areas of weaker gravity, potentially revising Einstein's theories. The findings could impact Earth science applications. This work revisits Einstein's earlier ideas and, if validated, could lead to advanced gravity-sensing technologies for resource exploration and climate monitoring.
