Hi Doug,

I think you are mentioning about discussion related to Pound Rebecca
Experiment, and with reference to that experiment , it is the clock at
altitude which has shifted, not the EM wave in transit.

Yes, I agree that experimental confirmation is necessary, if we want to
ammend Einstein's Theory of time.

I am of also of the view that:

1) theory about black hole  is mostly fiction.
2) An absolute time interval  (i.e. universal clock) does exist within each
mass particle, which synchronizes all processes of the universe.

Regards,

Tufail Abbas
