Why is time relative when an accelerating body could be seen as accelerating away from another body at exactly the same speed as the body from which one is accelerating away from is speeding away from the first body? I. e. the bodies could be seen as accelerating away from each other at the same rate, increasing at whatever rate equally. Is it the increased "gravity" on the ship which would cause a distortion? If the propulsive device is seen as a bomb pushing equally on all sides, that just happens to be attatched to the ship, pressing on ship and planetary influence equally, why does the time not change equally for both bodies? Maybe silly I know. :)
