Then you are not "well informed". First, your use of the word "causes" is a PUN on the word. Second, in SR, time dilation is a purely geometrical effect due to the way time intervals are projected onto different coordinates.


Acceleration causes also time
dilation, according to General Relativity.

That is just plain false. Indeed, GR satisfies the "clock hypothesis" which states that the tick rate of an ideal clock is unaffected by its proper acceleration. This has been _measured_ to be true for muons in a storage ring accelerated with 10^18 gee [see Bailey et al referenced in the FAQ].

If you want to "prove" that SR is "dead", then you must use the ACTUAL theory in your analysis, and not your personal MISTAKES about it. All the confusions and silliness you mention are due to your personal MISTAKES, and are unrelated to the ACTUAL theory. <shrug>
