According to the general theory of relativity, a BLACK HOLE is a region of space from which nothing, including light, can escape. It is the result of the deformation of spacetime caused by a very compact mass. In astrophysics, a WHITE HOLE is the hypothetical time reversal of a black hole. While a black hole acts as an attractor, drawing in any matter that crosses the event horizon, a white hole acts as a source that ejects matter from its event horizon. The sign of the acceleration is invariant (unchanged) under time reversal, so both black and white holes attract matter. The only potential difference between them is in the behavior at the horizon.

  • if a worm hole was held open by negative matter, wouldnt it do the oppisite of an unstable wormhole-which pulls itself apart, and collapse within itself?

  • @hbkisdx24 I'm sorry dude but were you trying to be funny?? :/

  • yeah black dude, eat that apple. LIKE A BOSS

  • 8:24 Perfectly explains all 10 minutes of this video.

  • @hbkisdx24 once you fall in to one of those, you'll never be able to leave 0.e

  • @TheDan2000 yea dude

  • They forgot the most important hole in the universe to man kind ........

    The Vagina !

  • @BigMTBrain lol. There have been observations from hubble of them. hahah

  • @BigMTBrain - (part 2) - Of course, all theoretical... at this level of our knowledge and ability to observe.

  • For those like me who are wondering how distant black holes can connect over vast distances: Wikipedia to the rescue: "It has also been proposed that if a tiny wormhole held open by a negative-mass cosmic string had appeared around the time of the Big Bang, it could have been inflated to macroscopic size by cosmic inflation." There, then, lies the key. Planck-scale black holes created shortly after the Big Bang and which BEGAN to merge were separated by HUGE distances during Cosmic Inflation.
