The frequency at which light is emitted determines its energy
henceforth. It is an absolute even in a changing metric. Light if
emitted in fast time will appear to wave faster in slower time by
their differentiation.

Light moving into slower time becomes more energetic there. Its
frequency is an absolute. Say light moves into gravitational time that
is running 10 times slower. It will retain its original frequency and
will vibrate 10 times faster in the slower metric.

You cannot change the absolute frequency of light.

Got any equations to go with that word salad?

Here's a simple question for you.

*****

A light source O (for specifics, one could contemplate a sodium vapor
lamp, but it's not that important) is emitting light; an observer A is
moving with velocity v with respect to that light source, where
positive v indicates away, negative v toward.

O------------A ===> (v)

[1] If the light source is emitting a frequency f0 (by its own
measurements), what frequency does A observe (by *his* own
measurements)?

[2] If the light source is emitting a wavelength w0 (by its own
measurements), what wavelength does A observe (by *his* own
measurements)?

[3] If O emits light at c0, and A measures O's light's speed, what
speed does he measure?

*****

According to SR, the predictions are:

[1]: f/f0 = sqrt(1-v/c)/sqrt(1+v/c) -- the frequency decreases.
[2]: w/w0 = sqrt(1+v/c)/sqrt(1-v/c) -- the wavelength lengthens.
[3]: c/c0 = 1 -- lightspeed is constant to all observers.

According to Galilean relativity, the predictions are:

[1]: f/f0 = 1 - v/c -- the Doppler effect.
[2]: w/w0 = 1 -- the wavelength is unchanged.
[3]: c/c0 = 1 - v/c -- as would be expected.

One might attempt dual coordinate systems (e.g., Kenseto's), but it's
clear that these predictions are quite different. Note that time
synchronization is not required in these experiments, although clocks
should be calibrated properly.

Followups.

Windows. Because it's not a question of if.
It's a question of when.

The absolute frequency of light means that its energy will be the same
no matter where it is in gravity. But moving with respect to it
changes it to a relative.
