This is a well-known result to experts in general relativity. It's
also well-known and easy to establish from the simple math of SR that
light will slow down in an accelerating rocket. Real physicists are
not confused by this. Everything you have ever read about the
constancy of the speed of light is only true in the absence of
gravity.
