ABSTRACT 

I was the first who wrote down the exact formulas of the dependence of the speed of light on gravity [1] as the author of the quantum theory of Superunification [2] and the theory of quantum gravity [3-5]. Then I began to develop a linear dynamic interferometer with the rotation of its arms in the vertical plane based on my theoretical calculations [6, 7]. The interferometer has shown the displacement of the interference fringes of 74 fringes per one revolution of the interferometer arms in the vertical plane of the Earth's gravitational field with a length of one arm of only 0.5 m. This is an excellent result. I published the test results in the paper "The speed of light is not a constant, it depends on gravity: proven experimentally" [8]. The speed of light calculated by my formula has a deceleration in the gravitational field: on the surface of the Earth it is 0.104 m/s, on the conditional surface of the Sun, it is 234 m/s. The light has a complete stop on the surface of the black hole to zero speed. Therefore, we cannot see a black hole in the optical and any electromagnetic range. Now we have convincing theoretical and experimental proof of the fact that the speed of light is not a constant. This fact is opposite to the main postulate of Einstein's theory of relativity that the speed of light is a constant. However, Einstein was misled by the incorrect interference experiments of Michelson and Morley. They made only half of the experiments in the horizontal plane of the Earth's gravitational field, where there is no change in gravity and the speed of light. For this reason, they did not detect a shift in the interference fringes despite the high sensitivity of their interferometer. Einstein had postulated the speed of light as a constant in the theory of relativity based on the incorrect experiments of Michelson and Morley. They did not make the second main part of the experiment when there is a rotation of the interferometer arms in the vertical direction of the Earth's gravitational field and there is a change in gravity and the speed of light. This was a grandiose experimental methodological error that negatively affected the course of development of fundamental physics, despite some achievements in the theory of relativity, which does not include the quantum theory of gravity. I do below a more detailed analysis of the methodological errors in the experiments of Michelson and Morley who made only half of the experiments. I also make a description of my experiments on measuring the change in the speed of light in the gravitational field of the Earth using a linear dynamic interferometer of my own design, which fundamentally differs from the Michelson and Morley interferometer.
