I understand the difference between SR and GR. SR applies only to
masses moving at a constant velocity. GR applies to all motion
including accelerated masses. Thus, the Lorentz-Fitzgerald
transformations apply to masses which are moving at a constant velocity
as well as masses which are accelerating, despite your insistence that
it applies only to masses moving at a constant velocity. Honestly, what
led you to believe that you (or anyone else would) know more about
relativity than I?
