On the Unruh Effect of a Stochastic Field of Vacuum

Abstract

A deduction of the occurrence of the Unruh effect and the Hawking radiation is given, assuming that the space is completely filled by a stochastic classic field. The symmetry proprieties of this field allows a deduction of the proper functional form of the spectrum in order to obtain a result in complete agreement with Quantum Field Theory. The symmetry breaking, either by the presence of a strong gravitational field or by the uniformly accelerated movement in a preferential direction, is the cause of the radical change in the proprieties of vacuum and the way it is perceived.
