All, By the Principle of Equivalence acceleration is equivalent to gravitation.
Gravitation curves space. So doesn't this mean acceleration should also curve space? If not, why not? If not, doesn't that violate the Equivalence Principle? If so what is the geometric form of that curvature relative to an accelerating mass? Does that curvature affect anything else than the mass itself, e.g. anything that the accelerating mass passes near to? If so how? Or is that curvature only of the space that the accelerating mass itself occupies? If so how does that work and interact with the surrounding space? If there is such geometry, how does that relate to the other relativistic effects of acceleration?
