Well, this was why I find Einstein being right in treating light as a constant. When it comes to your definitions of lights 'infinite speed' I can't agree. To me, and Einstein, light has only one speed, it does not adapt to 'time/gravity'.
3) Do we all also agree that light speed is constant,? Yes and completely uninfluenced by gravity, No but that clocks and measuring sticks are influence by gravity? Yes
The ‘rate of flow of time’ to me seems obvious. If I said the ‘rate of flow of water’, everyone would know what I meant. Time flows past at a certain rate.

Ah, but that's a problem Mike. You can refer to a rate of flow of water, but you can't refer to a rate of flow of time because a "rate" is a measurement of something in a certain amount of time, so you'd be using time to measure time, which obviously won't work.
