Do White Holes Really Exist?


Everything has two outcomes or possibilities. Day and night, plus and minus, front and back, light and dark, etc. In the same manner, black holes have another possibility too, the "White Holes".

What Actually is a White Hole:

A white hole is a theoretical region in space that emits and throws away every matter, even light. It is the exact opposite of a black hole that sucks up everything, including light.

How is a White Hole Formed?

When a very massive star dies, it is crushed under its own matter and gravity that it turns into a black hole, but before it could turn into a complete black hole, the quantum effects reverse the process and bounce off the matter and gravity, causing a white hole to be formed. 

Is White Hole Real?

Currently, there is no such evidence that white holes actually exist in space, it's just a theoretical prediction of Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Still, there is a high probability that they are real and exist in space, just like black holes do. We just need a lot of time, physicists, and scientists working hard to achieve the proof of them.

Is White Hole the Death of a Black Hole?

We can say so because, in the 1970s, Stephen Hawking predicted that black holes can emit and leak out some energy. Also, we still do not have any answer whether how a black hole dies. Maybe the death of a black hole is the birth of a white hole?
"Maybe a white hole is the death of a black hole", said Carlo Rovelli. 

Can a Black Hole and a White Hole Be Two Different Sides of Each Other?

One cannot say "No" confidently to this question too without any evidence, yet one cannot even say "Yes" without any proof too. Black Holes suck up everything while white holes throw away everything, who knows maybe they are the two opposite sides of a tunnel?

Conclusion:

Science doesn't always look up for answers but it raises curiosity and the ability to ask more and more questions. That is what we are really doing here. If you have something in your mind, share it in the comments below.

Inventions of Nikola Tesla

Born in the year 1856, in Croatia, Nikola Tesla was an inventor of many devices and machines that are still being used in the modern world but very few people know that they were actually invented by this remarkable scientist. Let's take a quick look at them. See also:  Nikola Tesla: An Unsung Hero in the Invention of the Lightbulb Nikola Tesla in his laboratory. AC Motor: Tesla invented the AC motor when he was only 21 years old. It consists of three parts: a rotor, a stator, and the coils. It was used to generate and transmit electric energy over large distances and is still used today.  Tesla's AC Motor Tesla Coil: Tesla Coil was invented by Nikola Tesla in 1891. It produces high voltage, low current, and high-frequency AC wirelessly.  Tesla Coil Radar: A radar is a large antenna dish that transmits and receives electromagnetic signals mainly in radio and microwave regions. It is based on the ability of bats to detect the distance of objects without seeing them with th...

The Unified Theories and Theory of Everything

Unification, in simple words, is the method of unifying and simplifying two or more entities. It has been in human nature for thousands of years to simplify things even a little bit, to put them into a single framework so they do not have to look up for them separately. In the field of Science and Physics, unifying is the act of combining two or more separate areas of Physics that were earlier considered different. For decades, scientists have been attempting to unify and merge the four forces of nature. Some scientists have tried to unify the two or even three and have not achieved it yet. So, what really are the forces of nature?  The Four Fundamental Forces of Nature: Since the birth of the universe, the whole of the universal model is comprised of the basic four forces namely, the Electromagnetic force, the Strong Nuclear Force, the Weak Nuclear Force, and the Gravitational force.

Rosalind Franklin: An Unsung Hero in DNA Discovery

Who discovered the double helix structure of DNA? Were they really Watson and Crick? For years, we have been told that the famous "Double Helix" structure of the DNA was discovered by two scientists, James Watson and Francis Crick and for that, they even won a Nobel Prize along with the other scientist, Maurice Wilkins. But was it really a true story? First of all, what is DNA? DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid): DNA, an abbreviation for "Deoxyribonucleic Acid" is a chain (well, two chains) of molecules or deoxyribose sugars (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine). It is an essential constituent of chromosomes that make up almost every cell of our bodies. From hair color to eye color, height, skin color, and even genetic diseases and disorders, DNA plays a vital part in our bodies. Structure of DNA: Before 1952, nobody knew the real structure of DNA. Scientists were trying hard to chalk out, and research was in full swing then. One female scientist, Rosalind Franklin, workin...
