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 can’t ...

White holes are theoretical cosmic regions that function in the opposite way to black holes. Just as nothing can escape a black hole, nothing can enter a white hole. White holes were long thought to ...

What’s on the other side of a black hole? That’s one of the biggest mysteries in space science! Black holes are super strong gravity pits, so once anything crosses the "event horizon" (their point of ...

Black holes seem to get all the attention. But what about their mirror twins, white holes? Do they exist? And, if so, where are they? To understand the nature of white holes, first we have to examine ...

Hi Remy! Thank you for this great question. The short answer, unfortunately, is no. White holes are really just something scientists have imagined — they could exist, but we’ve never seen one, or even ...

Despite its name, a black hole is not an empty void. Most black holes form when stars die in a supernova explosion, collapsing under their own gravity. When a star 10 times more massive than the sun ...

There just might be a way for white holes to form in the Universe. According to a new, highly theoretical paper, the ...

New research suggests black holes may transition into 'white holes', ejecting matter and potentially even time back into the universe, defying our current understanding of these cosmic giants. New ...

Einstein and other early proponents of quantum mechanics felt strongly that black holes, somehow, were the key to solving the whole… universe problem. How did the universe get here? When did it get ...
