White Holes

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.

To a spaceship crew watching from afar, a white hole looks exactly like a black hole. It has mass. It might spin. A ring of dust and gas could gather around the event horizon — the bubble boundary separating the object from the rest of the universe. But if they kept watching, the crew might witness an event impossible for a black hole — a belch. “It’s only in the moment when things come out that you can say, ‘ah, this is a white hole,'” said Carlo Rovelli, a theoretical physicist at the Centre de Physique Théorique in France.

Physicists describe a white hole as a black hole’s “time reversal,” a video of a black hole played backwards, much as a bouncing ball is the time-reversal of a falling ball. While a black hole’s event horizon is a sphere of no return, a white hole’s event horizon is a boundary of no admission — space-time’s most exclusive club. No spacecraft will ever reach the region’s edge.

Objects inside a white hole can leave and interact with the outside world, but since nothing can get in, the interior is cut off from the universe’s past: No outside event will ever affect the inside. “Somehow it’s more disturbing to have a singularity in the past that can affect everything in the outside world,” said James Bardeen, a black-hole pioneer and professor emeritus at the University of Washington.
