Two Black Hole Holography, Lensing and Intensity

TL;DR

This paper numerically verifies the 'expanding horizon' theory of Susskind in the context of two black holes, demonstrating that horizons cannot hide behind each other and analyzing the resulting intensity distribution.

Contribution

It provides the first numerical simulation confirming the 'expanding horizon' theory and explores the optical effects of two black holes in a holographic setting.

Findings

Horizon cannot hide behind another in black hole arrangements

Numerical simulation supports the 'expanding horizon' theory

Intensity distribution of two black holes was computed

Abstract

We numerically verify the analysis of the "expanding horizon" theory of Susskind in relation to the 't Hooft holographic conjecture. By using a numerical simulation to work out the image formed by two black holes upon a screen very far away, it is seen that it is impossible for a horizon to hide behind another. We also compute the intensity distribution of such an arrangement.
