Variable speed of light with Einstein and stated both speed and direction of light change in a gravity field first published 1923 in English, 1920 in German. Born expressed the magnitude of light speed as the square root of (−"g"/"g") gravity components in general relativity to leave no doubt about his intent. Richard Tolman also agreed with Einstein and expressed the radial speed of light as "dr"/"dt" in a gravity field. where "m" is "MG"/"c" and where natural units are used such that "c" is equal to one. Robert Dicke, in 1957, developed a related VSL theory of gravity. In contrast to Einstein, Dicke
Variable speed of light While the measured value was later provided by Eddington in 1919, Albert Einstein went through several versions of light speed theory between 1905 and 1915, eventually concluding that light speed is constant when gravity does not have to be considered but that the speed of light cannot be constant in a gravitational field with variable strength. In the same book Einstein explained that he intended light speed to be a vector when it was described by coordinates in a reference frame. Einstein was not explicit about whether the speed of light would change in a gravity field, or whether just
