suggests that frequency was measured. In a Newtonian
universe it is very difficult to see how frequency could
vary between two light sources at different heights, if
the light sources are guaranteed to generate or absorb
wavelengths within a very narrow range.

A pendulum clock would return an opposite result, since g is very
slightly less at altitude. If one imagined "local stress" as
what established characteristic frequencies...
