    The "surprising causal effect" (real not apparent) is the abrupt   
    shortening of the distance between Earth T and Space Station S that   
    passes from almost 40 light-years before acceleration to almost 5   
    light-years after acceleration when the 5 years of travel they are   
    still all to spend.   
      
   If acceleration generates a sudden "space jumping" it must only generate   
   (at the same time) a sudden "jump" of time.
