   That is not so.  If two reference frames are non-inertial (in the Newtonian   
   sense), then it is possible that one is not accelerating relative to the other.   
      
   That is precisely the case (approximately), when a falling observer is   
   observing a nearby falling object and we assume approximatively that the   
   gravitational field is uniform.  Then that object would be observed by thta   
   observer to be at rest even though it would be accelerating for an inertial   
   observer.

   I have read the thread.  If you said anything obviously incorrect there, I   
   would have corrected you there.

   What do you mean by that?
