Route dependence of the gravitational red shift
Abstract
The author proposes repetition of the measurement of the relativistic red shift due to the gravitational field of the earth by means of the Mössbauer effect and using photons not travelling vertically. According to a new kind of linear theory of gravitation, the red shift for such photons may deviate from the value predicted by Einstein.
