hoola Posted September 10, 2017 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? Edited September 10, 2017 by hoola

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
