I am trying to understand things around singularities and related to this I have a question.
What kind of singularity is Rindler horizon?
Wikipedia (Rindler coordinates) says that: "The Rindler coordinate chart has a coordinate singularity at x = 0,"
But if Rindler coordinates are not defined on the other side of the horizon then they are not related by bijection to inertial coordinates. And then Rindler coordinates do not cover region around x=0 from the other side (I believe this is requirement to state that x=0 is coordinate singularity).
