This is from the website you pointed to: The clock postulate generalises this to say that even when the moving clock accelerates, the ratio of the rate of our clocks compared to its rate is still the above quantity. That is, it only depends on v, and does not depend on any derivatives of v, such as acceleration. So this says that an accelerating clock will count out its time in such a way that at any one moment, its timing has slowed by a factor (γ) that only depends on its current speed; its acceleration has no effect at all.

As I already knew, Einstein never thought that acceleration affects clocks in the frame under acceleration. He thought only velocity causes time to dilate and he is wrong.

Also, please refrain from insulting comments, or goading other members into arguements.
I can’t see where I have used insulting comments. If someone is attacking my math then surely I have the right to defend myself against incorrect arguments.
I am not goading other members into arguments. I am trying to debate this concept with real logical arguments. This site is about trying to find TOE and I think spacetime is the clue. If there are real reasons and evidence as to why my theory cannot be right then I will listen but if the argument against TR is flawed then I will argue my corner.
Surely most members must find heated debate a little entertaining, I know I do.

If I have insulted anyone then I apologise.

Tony
