Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that special relativity applies to accelerating observers?

Yes. A reference encyclopedia article states plainly that special relativity accommodates accelerating objects and accelerating frames, calling the contrary view a misconception. Other sources treat accelerated observers within the special-relativity framework, though some do so via extensions or informal commentary.
