The passage around this formula
As r =2GM/ , f0 and a(r) : holding station arbitrarily close to a horizon costs arbitrarily large continuous thrust, sourced from arbitrarily large continuous energy expenditure, which is exactly the situation Unruh’s original analysis and the long literature it produced treat as the flip side of a diverging local temperature for an accelerated or static near-horizon observer [ 9 , 12 ] .
