The appearance of the regular black hole with a stable inner horizon

Abstract

The strong cosmic censorship conjecture, which states that the evolution of generic initial data will always produce a globally hyperbolic spacetime, is hard to be tested by astronomical observations. In this paper, we study the appearance of the regular black hole without mass inflation, which violates the strong cosmic censorship conjecture. Since the inner horizon is stable, the photons entering the two horizons of the regular black hole in the preceding companion universe can come out from the white hole in our universe. These rays create a novel multi-ring structure, which is significantly different from the image of the Schwarzschild black hole. This serves a potential method to test the strong cosmic censorship conjecture.
