Abstract: I will explain the ideas involved in the timelike tube theorem, which says that the algebra of quantum fields along the worldline of an observer is the same as (roughly) the algebra of quantum fields in a spacetime region that is causally accessible to the observer. The earliest version was proved by Borchers and Araki in the 1960's.
