Abstract

The procedure used recently by Hawking (1975) to demonstrate the creation of massless particles by black holes is applied to the Rindler coordinate system in flat space-time. The result is that an observer who undergoes a uniform acceleration kappa apparently sees a fixed surface radiate with a temperature of kappa /2 pi . Some implications of this result are discussed.

  • According to the Fulling-Davies-Unruh effect, accelerated observers in a vacuum observe a thermal radiation bath of real particles in the flat spacetime around them, with the particles originating from the quantum-field-theory vacuum itself.

    “According to the Fulling-Davies-Unruh effect (Fulling, 1973; Davies, 1975; Unruh, 1976), accelerated observers in a vacuum observe a thermal radiation bath of real particles in the flat spacetime around them, with the particles originating from the quantumfield-theory vacuum itself.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
