But there then remained the problem of how the UA accounted for redshifts and time dilation.
Like I said before, equally accounted for by acceleration. For those of you that like to argue: It accounts for the effects of the RE! As in the effects due to the 'gravity' of the RE.
I've gone over this multiple times, this is incorrect. Very, very incorrect on so many levels. I don't know why you keep saying it, because no amount of repetition will make it any more true.
Acceleration cannot account for these effects due to the gravity of the RE. To beat a dead horse, the gravity of the RE is
non-uniform, something
absolutely necessary for redshifts and time dilation to be measured on our planet. Acceleration creates a
uniform gravity effect. Since you insist your position is correct, please offer an insight as to how the uniform gravity effect of acceleration duplicates the results that are only obtainable in a non-uniform gravitational field. This surpasses all known physics, so your explanation could be very valuable.
And before you get started, remember the EP doesn't apply.
