SZEKERES1 recently suggested, on the basis of his earlier work2, an interaction that causes an electromagnetic wave to change its frequency while travelling through a combination of electromagnetic and gravitational fields. The work of ref. 1 was initiated by experiments by Sadeh et al.3,4. In one of these experiments the 21 cm absorption line from Taurus A was observed. A decrease in the frequency of the line was found to occur when the line of sight approached the Sun. In the second experiment, a decrease in the frequency of a terrestrial source was observed which was roughly proportional to distance. Sadeh suggested that this effect was a red-shift of an electromagnetic wave while it travelled through a gravitational field (an effect that cannot be accounted for by general relativity), while Szekeres suggested that it was a combined effect of the gravitational field and the transverse electric field of the Earth, and was dependent on direction. Szekeres's suggestion is strengthened by evidence that the effect was not observed in two-way experiments.
