The equivalence principle, uniformly accelerated reference frames, and the uniform gravitational field

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

The relationship between uniformly accelerated reference frames in flat spacetime and the uniform gravitational field is examined in a relativistic context. It is shown that, contrary to previous statements in the pages of this journal, equivalence does not break down in this context. No restrictions to Newtonian approximations or small enclosures are necessary.
