Abstract

The bizarre behavior of the apparent (black hole and cosmological) horizons of the McVittie spacetime is discussed using, as an analogy, the Schwarzschild-de Sitter-Kottler spacetime (which is a special case of McVittie anyway). For a dust-dominated “background” universe, a black hole cannot exist at early times because its (apparent) horizon would be larger than the cosmological (apparent) horizon. A phantom-dominated background universe causes this situation, and the horizon behavior, to be time-reversed.

  37. The appearance and disappearance of pairs of apparent horizons in dynamical situations is familiar from numerical [27] and analytical [18, 28] studies of black holes.

  38. Similarly, wormholes embedded in cosmological backgrounds must expand [39].

  45. Similar situations occur in varying speed of light (VSL) cosmologies, in which the radii of primordial black holes and the Compton wavelengths of massive particle states can exceed the size of a cosmological horizon [46].
