Abstract:

Didactic heuristic arguments, based on the quantum mechanics of the vacuum and the structure of space-time, are reviewed concerning particle creation from the vacuum by an electric field, vacuum radiation in an accelerated frame, black-hole radiation, minimum mass black holes, space-time breakdown, maximal proper acceleration, the space-time tangent bundle and intrinsic Planck-scale regularization of quantum fields.
