See how white holes emerge from the same space-time diagrams as black holes in PBS's space-time video. Explore the parallels between a white hole and the Big Bang in this article from Nautilus.
White holes are mathematically possible, according to general relativity. But does that mean they're actually out there?
White holes have been theorized for nearly as long as their black hole counterparts. Now that we have proof that black holes exist, are white holes next?
Most people are familiar with the concept of a black hole: a “hole” or extreme warping in space and time that endlessly devours any matter unfortunate enough to venture close to it. Even light ...
In this scenario, a hypothetical observer traveling through the black hole could emerge from a white hole, where the traditional understanding of time and space breaks down entirely.
Going beyond that horizon towards a new understanding of space, time and black holes is the principal goal of physicist Carlo Rovelli's wonderful new book White Holes.
For now, they are an idea. To put it simply, you can imagine a white hole as being a black hole in reverse. So if time was running backwards, black holes would look like white holes.
Going beyond that horizon towards a new understanding of space, time and black holes is the principal goal of physicist Carlo Rovelli's wonderful new book White Holes.
White holes are closely linked with black holes, being their time-reversed equivalent. The thinking is that whatever black holes can do, white holes also do in reverse. That leads to an odd ...
To understand a white hole, you first have to know what a black hole is. The best way to think about a black hole is that it is a place where space is “falling” faster than the speed of light.
For years, scientists have theorized that some black holes could actually be wormholes, and a new study shows that this space-time mimicry could in fact be possible.
