White Holes: Connections to Other Universes?

In summary, the conversation discusses the theory of white holes and their potential existence. It is mentioned that black holes may be connected to other universes and could potentially be emitting material into these universes, leading to the concept of white holes or "big bangs". However, there is no scientific proof of white holes and their existence is still unknown. The conversation also brings up the idea of white holes being a possibility in quantum gravity, but this is not a confirmed theory. Overall, the concept of white holes remains an interesting topic of discussion.

Does the theory allow White Holes to exist?
I read "somebody" thinks that black holes are connection to other universes; as b.o. continuously capture materials... couldn't they be emitting this material in the other universe? Could they be "white holes"... or, in other words, "big bangs"?

This theory was explored fairly comprehensively in 'Red Dwarf'

It seems unlikely, and white holes were really just tossed around as a possible example for Quasars, which we now understand to be Active Galactic Nuclei.

there is no scientific proof of white hole, and it has been proven that black holes do release a bit if energy in the form of heat, about a nano degree above absolute zero, so energy that is absorbed in a black hole doese return to our universe, also by the laws of concervation then it is impossiable for a universe to loose energy but to only convert it into other forms
but the idea of white holes arre interesting :)

Unknown. If you use standard GR, it turns out to be hard to make a white hole, but no one knows if they exist or not. Once you go into quantum gravity, we don't have "the theory".

couldn't they be emitting this material in the other universe? Could they be "white holes"... or, in other words, "big bangs"?

Lee Smolin came up with this idea already :-) :-)
 

Related to White Holes: Connections to Other Universes?

1. What are white holes?

White holes are hypothetical objects that are the exact opposite of black holes. They are regions of space that are constantly emitting matter and energy, while black holes are known for pulling in matter and energy.

2. Can white holes exist in our universe?

While white holes have not been directly observed, some theories in physics suggest that they could potentially exist in our universe. However, their existence is still widely debated among scientists.

3. How are white holes connected to other universes?

One theory suggests that white holes may act as a bridge between different universes. This is based on the idea that white holes could connect to other universes through a cosmic wormhole.

4. How do white holes differ from black holes?

White holes and black holes have opposite properties. While black holes have a strong gravitational pull, white holes have a repulsive force that pushes matter and energy away. Additionally, black holes are known for their event horizon, while white holes do not have one.

5. What are some potential implications of white holes for our understanding of the universe?

If white holes do exist, they could potentially provide new insights into the nature of space, time, and the laws of physics. They could also help explain some of the mysteries of the universe, such as the origin of the Big Bang and the possibility of multiple universes.
