Re: Particle Accelaration and Equivilent Gravity

If acceleration and gravity are equivilent for "some" descriptive
equations of GR, then is it correct to state that, a highly accelerated
particle, is really a gravited particle? Particles accelerated to close
to light speed gain Mass, thus gain Gravity.

Or is it taht Mass and Gravity are equivilent at light velocities?

No.

What it means is that someone performing experiments can't tell the
difference *locally* between conducting those experiments in a
gravitational field and conducting those experiments in an accelerated
reference frame.

The accelerator operator is not in an accelerated frame of reference.
He can certainly tell the difference between a particle being
gravitated and one that is being accelerated.
