Inertial mass from Unruh temperatures

It has been proposed that inertia can be explained as follows: when objects accelerate in one direction a Rindler horizon forms in the other direction, suppressing Unruh radiation on that side, and producing a net Unruh radiation pressure that always opposes the acceleration, just like inertia. So f...
