Just looked this up in Britannica Online. (Search for "time dilation"). Acceleration definitely plays into it. *All* clocks in non-accelerating motion relative to an observer run slow by his/her frame of reference. (Thus potentially causing (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Does this mean once a person is travelling at a particular velocity (e.g. .99c), he will not feel any further time dilation effects if he is no longer accelerating? IOW, is time dilation only experienced during acceleration? Jude (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
