I had struggle to find the answer to this question:
Imagine two charged identical particles, one stationary relative to earth, and the other one is free falling (to earth).
We know that an accelerated charged particle radiates. But the real problem is, according to Newton, the free falling particle will radiate but with Einstein's relativity, the stationary one will radiate. (I'm not sure about this, correct me if I'm wrong).
Can anyone explain which one is correct?

These two links were super-helpful:
Does an classical charge that is stationary in a gravitational field radiate?
Does a charged particle accelerating in a gravitational field radiate?
I did not copy anything from these two, so that the full credit would go to the original links.
