Another thought on the equivalency of gravity and acceleration and it's affect on light.
If a beam of light was shot directly outwards from the moon, and partiallly reflected by a series of mirrors in it's path, would the apparent speed of light as observed by an external viewer (say Earth based) change (accelerate or decelerate) as the leading edge of the beam moved away from the the moon due to gravity of the moon?
