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.

No, what I was alluding to was Einstein never considered acceleration caused time dilation. He thought only relative velocity caused time to dilate, yet he knew any object held still inside a gravitational field would experience time dilation so logically he should have considered the equivalence principle where any form of acceleration is equivalent. If time dilates while you are held still inside a gravitational field then time will also dilate for the frame under acceleration.

So, you suppose that Einstein is incorrect.

I don’t suppose he is incorrect, I know he was wrong about spacetime.

What experiments do you propose to test your theory (other than the GPB, which you don't have an empirical prediction for)?

As I have said, I am a mere amateur and it would be far beyond my abilities to tackle the complex gravity probe ‘B’ experiment and I would imagine far beyond anyone on this forum to try and calculate the expected results, which is why all I have said is that the results for frame dragging will be higher than expected for Einstein’s relativity.
In my paper I pointed out an experiment that can be performed in a lab, given the right facilities. There is another simple experiment involving superconducting material that will show it may be possible to reshape the spacetime zone of a piece of superconductor which involves a magnet and a smoke tank.
The lack of evidence of gravitational radiation also points towards TR being correct, although that in itself is not experimental evidence.
Given the right facilities I could prove the existence of the individual spacetime zones but without the right facilities I can only argue my corner.
