I was thinking of it, If I say: "I'm moving at a velocity v1 relative to a reference frame M then the acceleration will be the derivative of v1 relative to the reference frame M." In other words, from the perspective of my brother at home, I'm travelling at a velocity v1 and I have an acceleration a1. But from my perspective, he is travelling at v1 (and I'm standing still) and thus his acceleration is a1. But General Relativity tell us that acceleration is not relative, so why?
