    MAPPING HAWKING TEMPERATURE IN THE SPINNING CONSTANT CURVATURE BLACK HOLE SPACES INTO UNRUH TEMPERATURE

    We established the equivalence between the local Hawking temperature measured by the time-like Killing observer located at some positions r with finite distances from the outer horizon r+ in the five-dimensional spinning black hole space with both negative and positive constant curvature, and the Unruh temperature measured by the Rindler observer with constant acceleration in the six-dimensional flat space by employing the globally embedding approach.

    On the Gravitational Energy of the Hawking Wormhole

    The surface energy for a conformally flat space–time which represents the Hawking wormhole in spherical (static) Rindler coordinates is computed using the Hawking–Hunter formalism for nonasymptotically flat space–times. The physical gravitational Hamiltonian is proportional to the Rindler acceleration g of the hyperbolic observer and is finite on the event horizon ξ=b (b — the Planck length, ξ — the Minkowski interval). The corresponding temperature of the system of particles associated to the massless scalar field Ψ=1-b22, coupled conformally to Einstein's equations, is given by the Davies–Unruh temperature up to a constant factor of order unity.

    The EPR paradox and the uncertainty principle

    The EPR paradox appears when measurement results of some properties of two distantly entangled particles are correlated in a way that cannot be explained classically, and apparently violate locality. The resolution of the paradox depends on one’s interpretation of quantum mechanics. Explanations from quantum mechanics remain commonplace today, but they fail to explain the EPR (Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen) paradox totally in a way than can be accepted by the whole community. Here, we present a simple resolution to this paradox in which the uncertainty in the energy of the two-particle system is reduced by its lack of interaction during the journey so that the uncertainty in time becomes greater than the time they have been separating. Consequently, the present and past become indistinguishable because when we measure an observable in the system its value is the same as if the two particle were still together or very close. It is also argued that the destruction of information as the present and past become identical should release heat by Landauer’s principle, and this might make this proposal testable.

    Maximal acceleration and black hole evaporation

    In this paper, we discuss how in certain theories of spacetime admitting a maximal proper acceleration Hawking radiation does not completely evaporate the black hole. The black hole remnant’s mass depends on the inverse of the maximal acceleration. Furthermore, as a consequence of a duality between the minimum mass that a Schwarzschild black hole can have in such spacetimes and the maximal acceleration, we show that in certain theories with a maximal acceleration, there must be an upper uniform bound on the value of the force that can be exerted on test particles.
