I am not well versed in complex physics (I've taken honors physics in High school) so any help I can get with simpler vocabulary would be appreciated.
I stumbled upon this problem when just thinking and have not been able to find an answer.
We all know that gravity affects photons, as shown in black holes or even just the change in direction when passing a star. However, if a photon was emitted from a star, wouldn't it slow down? Thus you would have a photon going slower than the speed of light.
This picture (ignoring the stuff about fusion) is what I'm trying to describe.
(if this doesn't work, try right clicking, copying the URL and pasting it into a new tab)
Thanks,
