Abstract
I argue that an angular momentum scale is necessary to explain energy-momentum propagation along a single null geodesic, the scale being known as Planck's constant . If and (the velocity of light in vacuum), are considered to be given fundamental (constant) scales in local measurements, then the rest mass scale varies exactly inversely as the time scale varies in two different locally flat regions of a curved spacetime. As the time scale variation gives rise to gravitational redshift, the rest mass scale variation leads to a change in the Compton length scale associated with an elementary particle. I suggest an experiment for the MICROSCOPE satellite and report the expected outcome.
