We challenge the mainstream notion that the speed of light is always constant. By examining Einstein's theories and various experiments, we explore how gravitational potential can cause light speed to vary, particularly near massive objects. We delve into the concept of "effective speed of light" and discuss how gravity influences time, leading to differences in clock rates at various altitudes. Additionally, we critique traditional interpretations of spacetime curvature and propose a model where light speed changes based on the medium and gravitational conditions. Join us as we rethink foundational physics assumptions and explore the implications of these findings.
