I have already posted this but in the zombie world only zombie
education (that is, repetition and learning by rote) works:

John Norton, "The Attraction of Gravitation":

"He [Einstein] proposed a new gravitation theory that violated the
fledgling light postulate and related the gravitational potential to
the now variable speed of light."

Zombies, this John Norton seems to be one of yours masters so please
repeat what Master says: "now variable speed of light", "now variable
speed of light", "now variable speed of light", "now variable speed of
light", etc.

Postgraduate zombies should also learn by heart the teaching of another
Master:

CAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT EXCEED 300000 km/s IN A GRAVITATIONAL FIELD?

Sure, depending on the physical conditions of the measurement. It can
also be less than "300000 km/s" (by which I assume you really mean the
standard value for c). And this can happen even for an accelerated
observer in a region without any significant gravitation (e.g. in
Minkowski spacetime).
Tom Roberts

Then the title of the PhD thesis could be:

"If the the accelerated observer has reached a speed v, does he measure
the speed of light to be c+v?"

- receiving a detailed reply and being ignored,
- everyday concepts and scientific concepts in physics,
- the three things that smell like fish,
- inertial and non-inertial,
