If that equation is correct, we won't be receiving any light from stars and such

As an approximation you can look at the work the light has to do to reach that height.
You will get a change of frequency df(h) = f*g*h/c^2
df(30000ft) = 0.0001Hz

Knowing more about it could come in handy if you wanted to make an anti-gravity machine, a real one, not the machine posted by someone here where he turns on a heater inside the box and he calls the warping of the box panel from thermal expansion "anti-gravity". I don't think Ning Li and Eugene Podkletnov convinced many scientists they were onto something either, though they did get more attention than the guy with the warping box.

The rules seem to work pretty well.
Who cares why?

Oh really? brilliant

I don't think you understand the equation.
If not turn them off completely, maybe reduce them by some amount. When the media called Podkeltnov's research "anti-gravity" he tried to clarify he never claimed to be able to turn gravity off, only to reduce its effects, though there is considerable uncertainty he was able to achieve even that if his experiment had some experimental error that was not accounted for adequately or at all.

As to why...maybe someday we'll learn why gravity is a property of mass. Maybe someday we'll learn why inertia is a property of mass. It would be fun to turn either one on and off at will.
The frequency of visible light was not high enough to carry out the experiment using the 1959 technology, so they could not have achieved the results they did using sunlight at the two altitudes they used back in 1959. Pound/Rebka used much higher frequency EM radiation, in a variant of Mössbauer spectroscopy.
Natural sunlight is fast enough oscillation to test out time flow at various altitudes. they could have taken spectrographs at the 2 altitudes
So, from "General relativity theory allows predictions to be made in either direction. That equation works in one direction but there's no such limitation in general relativity.", you conclude that GR has a unidirectional equation? As someone else already mentioned, it appears you are having difficulty understanding the answers provided.

How very convienent for GR to have a uni directional equation.
