hoola Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) does the unruh effect have any bearing on the question of a detectable flux? If the flux is composed of virtual particles, they wouldn't live long enough to offer a "velocity signal" to a static detector. But if the detector was of a relativistic velocity, doesn't the unruh effect come into play at that point as it intersects the quantum foam of space?

If you want to discuss Unruh radiation, start a thread on it. 2. No. It requires an accelerating frame of reference. 3. No. An interferometer does not measure some random "flux"; it compares the phases of a singe light source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
