Things accelerate in our daily life, but fundamental physics say:
general relavity: there's not true forces, and space-time deformation by the action of the energy-momentum allows modification of the space-time geometry.
Quantum mechanics: The electron in a quantum orbit is stationary, and not accelerated; hence there is no continuous emission of radiation, when an excited atomic state decays, emitting a photon, it is like an unstable particle undergoing a radioactive decay, and not a result of continuous synchrotron radiation due to accelerated motion.

So where is the acceleration?

acceleration is a kinematics concept, not a physics concept. mechanics is were physics enters the picture.

>The electron in a quantum orbit is stationary,
What if the "orbit" is just a convention.
In reality, there is no such thing as "orbit".
Replace "orbit" with a "cloud probability", and therefor a "cloud of probability of acceleration", then :
emission => you were in the state where there was an acceleration.
no emission => you were in the state where there was no acceleration.

on the quantum level motion isn't even differentiable, so no, acceleration wouldn't exist
