Abstract

An old black hole can tunnel into a white hole/ firewall by emitting large baby universes. This phenomenon was investigated in Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity for genus one. In this paper, the focus is on higher genus corresponding to emitting more than one baby universe (n>1n > 1). The probability of encountering a firewall or tunneling into a white hole after emitting nn baby universes is proportional to e2nS(E)e4πE(n1)E2n2n9/2t4n22n5e^{-2nS(E)}e^{4 \pi \sqrt{E}(n-1)}E^{2n^2-n-9/2}t^{4n^2-2n-5}, where tt is the age of the black hole, and SS and EE represent the entropy and energy of the black hole, respectively.
