### Why dynamic Casimir effect does not appear in static gravity field?

Dynamic Casimir effect tells us that a constantly-accelerated mirror should emit radiation due to interaction with vacuum. Following principle of equivalence, a similar mirror placed in static ...

### Is the result of (every) research on acceleration equivalent to gravity?

Is the result of an experiment on acceleration equivalent to another experiment in a gravitational field? If I have an experimental conclusion from research under uniform acceleration, can the ...

### Why does weak equivalence principle say gravity is equivalent to acceleration?

I am told that the weak equivalent principle, that $m_i=m_g$ (inertial and gravitational masses are equivalent) is equivalent to the statement that in a small system you can't tell whether you are in ...

### Use of Principle of Equivalence

Let $x^\mu$ be the coordinates of a reference frame, $K$, where all bodies feel the same constant and uniform acceleration $\textbf{a}=\textbf{g}=-\nabla\varphi$; let $\xi^\mu$ be the coordinates of a ...

### Switching from an accelerated frame of reference to a locally inertial reference system

Using the equivalence principle, show that the interval for an accelerated observer ($\textbf{g}$ uniform and constant) has the form  ds^2|_{\text{first order in ...
