Black hole image encoding quantum gravity information

Abstract

The quantum extension of the Kruskal spacetime indicates the existence of a companion black hole in the universe earlier than ours. It is shown that the radiations from the companion black hole can enter its horizon, pass through the deep Planck region, and show up from the white hole in our universe. These radiations inlay extra bright rings in the image of the black hole in our universe, and some of these rings appear distinctly in the shadow region. Therefore, the image of the black hole observed by us encodes the information of quantum gravity. The positions and widths of the bright rings are predicted precisely. The predictive values for supermassive black holes are universal for a quite general class of quantum modified spacetimes with the phenomenon of black hole to white hole transition. Thus, our result opens a new experimental window to test this phenomenon predicted by quantum gravity. * czhang(AT)fuw.edu.pl † mayg(AT)bnu.edu.cn ‡ jsyang(AT)gzu.edu.cn
