Abstract

Although the idea that there is a maximum force in nature seems untenable, we explore whether this concept can make sense in the restricted context of black holes. We discuss uniformly accelerated and cosmological black holes and we find that, although a maximum force acting on these black holes can in principle be introduced, this concept is rather tautological.
