Also the proper time for the accelerating observer isn't the same as coordinate time. And x isn't a constant over the acceleration period.jartsa said:Here's derivation of the exact formula: In my approximate derivation the Lorentz boost is wrong by gamma, and the ticking rate of the distant clock is wrong by gamma. Those two errors cancel, so the exact formula is the same. (Unless I'm missing some gammas) (Oh yes the acceleration-velocity relation is more complicated - well I have think some more about this)
