 Physicists hope to simulate a black hole event horizon in the lab: 6/00
In 1976, Bill Unruh of the University of British Columbia showed that an accelerated observer would experience a similar "heat bath" of photons around him or her, due also to the existence of an event horizon.
Although the Unruh effect induced by acceleration is not precisely the Hawking effect from fl holes, it nevertheless shares many common characteristics.
Unruh himself suggested that sound waves propagating in a supersonic fluid behave similarly to quantum fields propagating in the vicinity of a fl hole.

 The Shorthorn Online | NEWS | Texas officials to make bargain   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The bill is now waiting for floor debate from the Senate, said David Unruh, spokesperson for the bill’s author.
Unruh said the bill would help solve budget problems by providing institutions flexibility in how much revenue is generated from tuition.
If the bill passes, universities can set tuition rates beginning Sept. 1, but officials said they do not expect the tuition changes to be implemented until spring 2004.

 Jun 06, 2000 - Violent Acceleration and the Event Horizon - Press Release
In 1976, Bill Unruh of the University of British Columbia in Canada showed that an accelerated observer would experience a similar "heat bath" of photons around him, due also to the existence of an event horizon in this case (See Figure 1).
Although the Unruh effect induced by acceleration is not precisely the Hawking effect from fl holes, it nevertheless shares many common characteristics with the Hawking effect.
One major challenge with detecting Unruh radiation is that enormous accelerations are required to produce a sufficient amount of radiation.

 Could abortion law affect tourism? Both sides say yes
PIERRE - As a bill meant to spark a national movement to overturn the 1973 decision that legalized abortion heads to the desk of South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds, the national debate about the bill and its possible repercussions is heating up.
Unruh said Monday that she's heard from many people from around the country who are planning trips to South Dakota because of the bill's passage through the Legislature.
Unruh said she plans to send a number of e-mails herself to supporters of the bill and abortion opponent groups, encouraging them to visit the state.

 cannabisnews.com: S.F. Clubs Rip Feds' Rave Bill
Instead, he says, the bill would go after rogue promoters who prey on clubgoers by pushing drugs such as ecstasy and then make additional profits by overcharging them for water needed to reduce increased body heat, a side effect of the drug.
Those opposing the bill fear that, if the measure passes, club owners who hire security to screen patrons for drugs have paramedics standing by in case of overdoses, sell water, or provide a cool-down space for participants could be prosecuted for encouraging drug use.
In the view of the bill's opponents, such situations would be seen as placing the responsibility for the consequence of drug use on the wrong people.

 Some States Rejecting Abstinence-Only Sex Ed
Unruh describes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as an unacceptable source because it "promotes condom use" instead of emphasizing abstinence.
Unruh adds that even if Arizona does require "medically accurate" information in classrooms, what that information is remains open to interpretation.
Schools such as Pascula's, where a survey she and her classmates conducted found that three out of five of their peers are sexually active despite the district's emphasis on abstinence, are a case in point.

 Consumer bills gain passage - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
The long delays in the effective dates in the gasoline-price cap were negotiated as a compromise to get the bill through the Legislature, meaning gasoline wholesalers and retailers will certainly press lawmakers in the years to come to repeal or rewrite the bill to make it more to their liking.
Other industry lobbyists will certainly press for changes in a number of the other bills, which means the new governor and future lawmakers will find the same issues on their desks starting next year.
House Bill 1761, which won final approval Tuesday, would give the state insurance commissioner authority to review proposed health insurance rates and reject them if they are deemed to be too high, too low or unfairly discriminatory.

Allen Unruh and others say approval of the HB1215 has caused an awakening on the anti-abortion side, as well.
A week after he signed the bill, Rounds suffered a 14-percentage-point drop in his favorable rating and a 15-point rise in his unfavorable rating, according to a periodic statewide survey conducted by a national polling company.
Allen Unruh and other supporters of the bill believe the opposite is true.

 The Reference Frame: Violation of complementarity?
Unruh uses a more transparent experimental setup where some issues can be explained very easily, without various technical complications of Afshar's setup.
The only respect in which Unruh's setup seems to be oversimplified is that his framework only contains "completely dark" and "completely bright" area, and therefore the subtlety "thickness of the wires is small" does not arise in Unruh's specific approach.
Bill Unruh's setup is not equivalent, and there is a different problem with your interpretation.

' I think Bill's argument is just that quantum mechanics itself says nothing about a time direction, so in and of itself, it can't yield an argument which says the past is different from the future.
Well, Bill Unruh now explains for himself what his argument is. I want to start by presenting his two key paragraphs, which is a succinct and eloquent encapsulation of his central position:
Bill, this last paragraph confuses me. Is it not the case that after a measurement the wavefucntion is generally different, and that this difference (after 'the collapse,' to use a non-PC description) distinctly affects the actual physical behavior of the system subsequently?

But this probably won't happen; it seems that science journalists and hype-prone physicists love and attract each other, much like cannibals and missionaries did in the Pacific Islands during the 19th century.

 A Mass of Inertia
How can these physicists claim they have discovered the origin of mass when their proposed mechanism fails to explain the very things that make it what it is? Well, as Bill Clinton might say, it all depends on what you mean by mass.
When these particle physicists speak of mass, they are not thinking in terms of inertia or weight.
In the mid-1970s, Paul Davies at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne and Bill Unruh at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver realised that an observer accelerated through the quantum vacuum should be bathed in electromagnetic radiation.
