Rascal ......

Point 1 seems to re-state Einsteins Principle of Equivalence. I have never heard anyone on this forum disagree with this principle.

From the Wiki ... The equivalence principle proper was introduced by Albert Einstein in 1907, when he observed that the acceleration of bodies towards the center of the Earth at a rate of 1g (g = 9.81 m/s2 being the acceleration of gravity at the Earth's surface) is equivalent to the acceleration of an inertially moving body that would be observed on a rocket in free space being accelerated at a rate of 1g. Einstein stated it thus:

"we [...] assume the complete physical equivalence of a gravitational field and a corresponding acceleration of the reference system." (Einstein 1907)

What I am not quite clear on is your Point 2. Why do you claim that acceleration generates a repelling force. Do you disagree with inertial mass? Can you extroplate this part ?

How do you explain this if we were in the presence of a neutron Star
