Is the time dilation effect also valid for accelerated Motion or only for v=const, a=0 ?
Thanks.
Thanks.

SUMMARY
Time dilation is a phenomenon that applies not only to observers in constant velocity (v=const, a=0) but also to those in accelerated motion. Proper calculations confirm that accelerated observers experience time dilation effects. This understanding is crucial for accurately describing the behavior of time in various physical contexts, including relativistic scenarios.
