infinite accelerations?
My question is about time dialation. I know that as one approaches light speed time dilation occurs. Now this dilation of time is the result of accelarations. what happens if one maintains a constant speed of let's say 50% of C. once speed is constant wouldn't the effects of accelartion and gravity return to zero? If so would time dilation also cease? I know once you take off on a commercail airliner one feels G accelrations but once altitude is reached one hardly feels movement or any significant G forces. Does the same thing apply for time dilation once a ship reaches and sustains a constant speed regardless of what % of C it is?
