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.
