ABSTRACT
One often hears that SR can't “handle” accelerated motion, and that to treat acceleration GR must be invoked. GR is a theory of gravitation that entails a connection between energy-momentum and the spacetime metric; until that relation is established we haven't left the realm of SR. What's fair to say is that accelerated motion isn't handled in SR as naturally as inertial motion. In this chapter we consider applications of SR to accelerated motion.
