If my contention (argued on CompuServe years ago) that the vacuum light speed c varies throughout space
depending on local gravity.
A slight increase in c means that the craft mass m = E/c^2 decreases slightly. But, the interogation signal
to and from the spacecraft gets there and back sooner, making it look like the craft is slowing down. :-)
Do you mean 4 space or floor-space, Jones?
