To simplify calculations, the study uses a planar black hole model (a flat, 2D version) instead of the usual spherical one. Researchers believe their findings may also apply to regular spherical ...

White holes are theoretical cosmic regions that are opposite to black holes. Just as nothing can escape a black hole, nothing can enter a white hole.

One final interpretation of white holes to end the discussion on. “You can think of the Big Bang as the ultimate white hole,” said astrophysicist Ezequiel Treister in a 2011 NASA chat.

A white dwarf star apparently whips around its companion black hole once every 28 minutes, a new study suggests. That means the duo are likely separated by just 2.5 Earth-moon distances — the ...

The black hole in question is 1ES 1927+654, located around 270 million light-years from Earth, with a mass around 1.4 billion times that of the sun. 1ES 1927+654 first announced its weirdness to ...

It doesn't take a degree in astrophysics or expertise on Albert Einstein to appreciate “White Holes,” theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli's latest book. But brushing up on Dante Alighieri' ...
