TYPO:
The last equation should be
z' = ct' - c^2/g.

David,
Please let me tax your patience with this stupidity which is boggling my
mind:
The analysis says that to an accelerating space ship there is a stopped
photon at z = -c^2/g. To the inertial observer K' this is a photon moving at
v' = ct' - c^2/g.
Did the space ship's acceleration bring this photon into existence, or would
the inertial observer have experienced this photon even without the
accelerating space ship?
