This discussion centers on the behavior of Coulomb forces in the context of Rindler horizons, particularly involving two rockets carrying positively charged balloons. It establishes that while the crew of the first rocket cannot detect the second rocket when it is below the Rindler horizon, they can still perceive the Coulomb force between the balloons. The conversation further explores the implications of charge transfer from a neutral planet to the balloons and concludes that monopole fields can extend beyond the Rindler horizon, while dipole fields cannot. The discussion also touches on the complexities of electric fields as perceived by observers in different frames of reference.
PREREQUISITESPhysicists, particularly those specializing in general relativity and electromagnetism, as well as students and researchers interested in the interactions of charged particles in non-inertial frames.
PeterDonis said:No, their Rindler horizon is the two null lines X=TX=TX = T (the future horizon) and X=−TX=−TX = -T (the past horizon).
not half lines but full lines of X=T,-T seem to have meanings in IFR. Is there definition on half or full ?sweet springs said:Events in #2 and #3 can effect on events in #3 Rindler area.
Events in #1 and #4 can not effect on events in #3 Rindler area.
sweet springs said:I would like do some clarification.
