Curiosities in Physics
"A somewhat rash philosopher, I think Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, said: There are a lot of things in heaven and on earth of which there is nothing in our Compendiis. If the simple-minded man, who, as is well known, was not in his right mind, was jibing at our Compendia of Physics, one can confidently answer him: Well, but then again, there are a lot of things in our Compendiis of which there is nothing in heaven or on earth."
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Change in Mass in the Gravitational Field
It is to be tested whether the rest massof a specimen is dependent on the strength of the gravitational field in which the specimen is located. The aim is to prove that an increase in the potential energy in the gravitational field is equivalent to a change in the energy at rest of m0*c2.

Age-dependent Redshift of Light
The aim is to test whether the cosmological redshift is due to the distance of the light source or due to the age of the light. If it were an age-dependent effect, the cosmological assumption of an expanding universe would have to be reconsidered.

Subtypes of Photons
The goal of the experiment is to test whether photons created during the annihilation of a specific pair of a particle and its antiparticle form the same particle-antiparticle pair again during pair formation. A positive result of the experiment would indicate that there are different subtypes of photons that differ in the particle-antiparticle pair they are made
