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.

Well, there's a caveat under that point, but it is rather subtle.

Anyway, I think there are a few crossed wires here: David mentioned that it is possible to write time dilation as a function of acceleration and, in the relativistic rocket link, the proper time of the rocket is written as a function of the distance in the earth frame and the rocket's acceleration. I thought this was what you were talking about, but obviously not.

So, you suppose that Einstein is incorrect. What experiments do you propose to test your theory (other than the GPB, which you don't have an empirical prediction for)?
