Ok, thank you for these various comments, i am learning.

@Nearlynothing You said : "His acceleration can be measured locally, with accelerometers, so this can be defined in absolute terms, with no reference to coordinates. Now in this frame he sees the station failing to remain stationary, he interprets his own acceleration as a means to remain...

@Kyle.Nemeth (post 6) : I see that you understood what i intended with the thought experiment, thank you . Then you said this : "However, SR says that you could also claim that the station is moving AWAY from you. This claim is also true and completely valid. Why is the latter true also...

@ phinds and DiracPool Ok, i understand that accellaration is not relative and can be determined, whereas moving with constant speed in the above context is not. But SR does not stipulate how this constant speed has to be achieved, it does not stipulate that the constant motion cannot be...

Hello, i am new here. I have been studying SR en GR for a while on a hobby level, and i keep pondering on the following : Consider the following situation : A train with a person on it leaves the station. SR says that while moving with constant velocity, the trainguy cannot tell...
