Abstract: | It is shown that quantization on the Fulling modes presupposes that the field vanishes on the spatial boundaries of the Rindler
manifold. For this reason, Rindler space is physically unrelated with Minkowski space and the state of a Rindler observer
cannot be described by the equilibrium density matrix with the Fulling-Unruh temperature. Therefore it is pointless to talk
about an Unruh effect. The question of the behavior of an accelerated detector in the physical formulation of the problem
remains open.
