| Apr 25, 2021 at 20:53 | comment | added | Eric Smith | @silverrahul: No, acceleration does not produce time dilation. MTW says: "...experiments do suggest that the times measured by atomic clocks depend only on velocity, not on acceleration" Gravitation, 2017 edition, section 38.4, p. 1055. They refer to Farley et al. 1966. See also Dale's answer below. | |

| Apr 25, 2021 at 20:14 | comment | added | Markoul11 | It is my understanding that gravitational or else called acceleration time dilation is caused because accelerated masses and mass inertia and does not need necessarily a planet. Even so in the presence of Earth we have g=9.81m/s^2 . Gravity is acceleration. | |
| Apr 25, 2021 at 20:04 | comment | added | Cleonis | It's not clear what your question is. The iconic experiment that corroborated gravitational time dilation is the Pound-Rebka experiment. The top of the tower is at a higher gravitational potential than the base of the tower. According to GR: if you would construct a wheel large enough to pull 1 G of acceleration (at the perimeter), and the diameter of the wheel is large enough to accomodate the same tower height as in the Pound-Rebka experiment, then you can replicate the Pound-Repka experiment. In that storage ring however, the distance of the muons to the center of rotation is constant. | |
