"In special relativity, the speed of light is constant when measured in any inertial frame. In general relativity, the appropriate generalization is that the speed of light is constant in any freely falling reference frame (in a region small enough that tidal effects can be neglected). In this passage, Einstein is not talking about a freely falling frame, but rather about a frame at rest relative to a source of gravity. In such a frame, the speed of light can differ from c, basically because of the effect of gravity (space-time curvature) on clocks and rulers."
Since gravity affects clock, it also affects the calculation of the speed of light if two clocks are observing the same event, if the clocks are experiencing different amounts of gravity.

At the beginning i was speaking too fast or it wasnt recording right or something but this is what i said
"this video is a sequal to the video evidence earth is 6,000 years old.
i figured that youtubers wouldnt know much about relativity or physics, but i thought they would atleast have the courtesy to atleast research it first before they curse me out and call me a liar on the simplest facts that all phycisists accept."
