Yes that should be an interesting experiment. I'll think about that. There is a
problem. Pound-Rebka used gamma particles.
I would expect individual photons to slow down as they are projected upwards
but the 'phase velocity' or whatever, might not.
The rates can be synched when the top clock is in place.
