Mike, sorry for the dealay in getting back to you. During this discussion I cannot recall using E/M to accelerate a circling particle. Please point out to me where I have done that. I agree with you about the rocket not being an IFR which is why I gave you the choice of answering with GRT. There is no centrifugal/centripetal acceleration involved whatsoever, the acceleration is linear. If the acceleration is kept to 1g, the GRT effects of acceleration can be ignored as they will be minute. Alternatively, the rocket motor can be stopped and SRT used to calculate the mass increase for that speed using the formula m = m0 / sqrt( 1- ( v / c )^2), then started again. There is no justification for using Earth as reference for calculating the mass increase, as is done for particles being accelerated in a PA, because unlike in a PA, the motive force does not originate on Earth, but in the rocket exhaust. Therefore the rocket exhaust should be used, and that is what I have done.
You have consistently ducked the question. Last chance. Using SRT, what is to stop the rocket accelerating past light speed?
Tom Hollings.
