Special Relativity and Gravity...are you certain?

In this case, yes. Acceleration and gravity have the same effect on clocks. The principle of equivalence. If I'm wrong, I expect that one of the heavyweights will correct me.

"In this case, yes. Acceleration and gravity have the same effect on clocks. The principle of equivalence. If I'm wrong, I expect that one of the heavyweights will correct me."

I would have expected Special Relativity to deal with the kinematic effect, but that General Relativity would have dealt with the Gravitational effect.
