Black holes as possible sources of closed and semiclosed worlds

Frolov, V. P., Markov, M. A., Mukhanov, V. F.·1990·Physical Review D

Abstract

The internal structure of spacetime inside a black hole is investigated on the assumption that some limiting curvature exists. It is shown that the Schwarzschild metric inside the black hole can be attached to the de Sitter one at some spacelike junction surface which may represent a short transition layer. The method of massive thin shells by Israel is used to obtain the characteristics of this layer. It is shown that instead of the singularity the closed world can be formed inside the black hole. It is argued that this property of our model may also be valid in a more general case provided the gravitation theory is asymptotically free and the limiting curvature exists. After passing the deflation stage the closed world in the black-hole interior may begin to inflate and give rise to a new macroscopic universe. The described model may be considered as an example of the creation of a closed or semiclosed world "in the laboratory." The possible fate of the evaporating black hole is also briefly discussed.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Quantum particle production immediately after the bounce can generate a finite period of exponential inflation consistent with the Planck 2015 observations.

    “Quantum particle production immediately after the bounce can generate a finite period of exponential inflation [5] that is consistent with the Planck 2015 observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation [24].”
  • Such a closed universe might have originated as a baby universe from a bounce in the interior of a black hole existing in a parent universe.

    “Such a universe might have originated as a baby universe from a bounce in the interior of a black hole existing in a parent universe [2][3][4][5].”
  • If our universe was formed in a black hole, then it must have increased its entropy and isotropized in the past to match the currently observed FLRW universe.

    “If our universe was formed in a black hole, then it must have increased its entropy [5,33,34] and isotropized in the past to match the currently observed FLRW universe [35].”
  • The collapsing matter undergoes a nonsingular bounce and then expands as a new, closed universe whose total energy is zero.

    “Instead, the collapsing matter undergoes a nonsingular bounce [21] and then expands as a new, closed universe [4,5,22] whose total energy is zero [23].”
  • The production rate of particles in a contracting or expanding universe can be phenomenologically given by 1/√-g d(√-g n_f)/dt = β H^4.

    “The production rate of particles in a contracting or expanding universe can be phenomenologically given by 1 √ -g d( √ -gn f ) dt = βH 4 ,(33)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
