The Unruh effect is a prediction in quantum field theory that suggests an observer accelerating through a vacuum will perceive that vacuum as a warm bath of particles, or thermal radiation, while an inertial observer would see no particles at all. This phenomenon was first proposed by physicist William Unruh in 1976.
