It most certainly does. Atomic clocks, pendulum clocks, mechanical clocks balance wheel clocks thermodynamic clocks all are affected by relative motion or acceleration. This is because all of them measure time and time itself is what is affected by motion and acceleration. Other effects of the acceleration (motion of the pendulum for example) could add an additional effect.
LOL, that is just a rumor. I doubt if you know what “time itself” is. Would you care to give us a definition of “time itself”?
Well, let's see. In another thread, you were asked the same question, and never did give an answer. Unlike you however, I will answer (as I did in the other thread). It is the interval on the time axis, between two events. In SR, that interval can be different for different observers, depending on the observer's velocity. In GR, that interval can be different for different observers depending on their relative velocity, relative acceleration, or a difference in gravitational potential.

Now Sam5, what is YOUR definition?

And I guess you now finally understand the difference between the Lorentz force and Lorentz's idea on moving bodies, since you didn't ask about it. So we can look forward to you not using the Lorentz Force as an idea in regards to the relative motion of uncharged bodies, right?
