Special relativity shows that any accelerated observer
sees an event horizon. In fact, if an observer is accelerated
by a, the horizon is at distance l=c^2/a in the direction
opposite to a.
If an observer is on a carousel or merry-go-round,
he is accelerated inwards. Does he then see a horizon
on the outside?
If so, does a horizon also appear for an observer in orbit,
thus when circling the Earth or the sun?
