We study defects of various dimensions moving through Anti-de Sitter space.
Using the AdS/CFT correspondence this allows us to probe aspects of the dual
quantum field theory. We focus on the energy loss experienced by these defects
as they move through the CFT plasma. We find that the behavior of these
physical quantities is governed by induced world-volume horizons. We identify
world-volume analogs for several gravitational phenomena including black holes,
the Hawking-Page phase transition and expanding cosmological horizons.Comment: 24 pages, 7 figures. Version 2 contains two added reference
