What are white holes? Many people are familiar with black holes as a 3-D hole that alters time and space where not even light can escape. However, what is our knowledge on white holes? Well, as your might suspect, white holes are the exact opposite of black holes. They expel matter into space at intense speeds with immense energy. Some cosmologists believe that on the other side of a black hole is a white hole. An interesting point that can either excite or disappoint you is that white holes cannot be entered from the outside. This means that there may never be physical proof of a white hole and will only stay in theories and mathematics.
Nevertheless, there is a paper written in 2012 that argued that the Big Bang was a white hole itself. Unlike black holes, white holes cannot be observed continuously and can only be observed at the time of the event. It also connects a new class called y-ray bursts to white holes. If you would like to read this interesting paper check out http://arxiv.org/pdf/1105.2776v2.pdf. Hopefully one day we can learn more about white holes and the mysteries they hold. The universe is fascinating and has secrets that are waiting to be unlocked the question is how much money are we willing to spend on the universe?
