There is reciprocity ; and accelerations, weight, gravity have nothing to do with the theory of relativity. I know that by saying this, I have all the guns in the world pointed at me, but it is reality. There is reciprocity. Why?
Because the theory of relativity, and more precisely the Lorentz factor, which is one of the cornerstones of understanding, only relies on one thing: relative speed.
This is called the dilation of chronotropies and accelerations have nothing to do with it, only the RELATIVE SPEED at each precise moment.
Now dilation of chronotropies does not mean dilation of the times written on watches. We must not forget that when I move at high speed, I not only move at a certain speed, whatever the direction of my movement, but that I also move in space, and that I modify my distance from the observer who apprehends me and vice versa. A sort of Doppler effect (anisochrony) will be created that must also be taken into account on watches. There are therefore two phenomena: anisochrony, and the dilation of chronotropies. The internal mechanism of watches (second degree) and the external mechanism of watches.
You are not making any effort Paul, it is a pity, because you are still one of the best specialists on the problem.
