[ExI] End of Story? Re: QT and SR

Lee:
Oh!  Of course. You're right. *This* effect occurs
according to the Equivalence Principle also if one
had a very tall building in a hypothetically greatly
extended uniform gravitational field. The Mössbauer
effect
Yes, and it's not acceleration that causes time-retardation
(a misunderstanding under which I labored for twenty
years) but being that deep in a gravitational field.

I did not realize whether it is a SR or a GR effect.
And 'Gravitation', by Wheeler-Misner-Thorne, is not
at hand here.

Sometimes the relativistic rocket is explained as
a SR effect. Or it seems so. See in example
chapter 13.4.2, in the link here below
http://www.ph.utexas.edu/~gleeson/NotesChapter13.pdf

Maybe the reason is that, for small speeds, physics
in a uniform gravitational speed and physics in an
accelerated reference frame are the same.

As someone else said: Eyes closed, pawing around
in the dark.
