I am not sure why they would be discouraged. We have known of the
gravitational red-shift for a while and it is of course part of GPS
calculations. The Mossbauer effect, which involves a very narrow
nuclear resonance, was used to demonstrate it in 1959 over a height of
22.5 meters (the Pound–Rebka experiment). It is cool that we now have
clocks accurate enough to detect changes of the order of meters and
getting better.

I actually had the privilege of hearing David Allan present his theories in the
yearly NIST conference in Boulder. Interesting fellow.
One thing that was pretty cool is that NIST developed a fountain clock that is
so accurate it is influenced by altitude. They had to raise the clock once to
install a new floor beneath and when they raised the clock it impacted the
frequency. Originally discouraged by this it suddenly occurred to someone that
they had developed an extremely accurate way to measure height! Now they just
have to miniaturize it and make it affordable (of course this is the bane of
laboratory experiments).
I was once Dir of R&D at a fortune 50 electronics firm and love hanging out in
labs like NIST.
