Quantum-gravity effects outside the horizon spark black to white hole tunneling

Abstract: We show that there is a classical metric satisfying the Einstein equations outside a finite spacetime region where matter collapses into a black hole and then emerges from a white hole. We compute this metric explicitly. We show how quantum theory determines the (long) time for the process to happen. A black hole can thus quantum-tunnel into a white hole. For this to happen, quantum gravity should affect the metric also in a small region outside the horizon: we show that contrary to what is commonly assumed, t… Show more

“…If we make the substitution of First of all, this non zero initial value of the entropy is consistent with a quantum bounce, as can be postulated through LQG, as by [5] [7] but it says more than that. In reality the very small value for the Curvature-measure k  in the aftermath of the quantum bounce, with 2 110…”

“…Keep in mind we are also using the Non-Linear Electrodynamics non-zero singularity which is also a nonzero bounce for the start of the universe [30] [31]. Having said that, such effects do seem to tie in also with work the author has done in [32] which is in its own way a partial confirmation of [29] as a starting point. We will use this while assuming in our calculations H r does not go to zero.…”
