Hypothetical image of a white hole |
In general relativity, white hole is a
hypothetical region of space time. It is completely reverse of a black hole as it is white in color nothing can enter a white hole from outside rather things comes out from a white hole. In reality, nothing like a white hole exists and
there is no physical phenomenon that can explain the formation of a white hole.
There is a hypothetical theory that tells that white holes are eternal black
holes i.e. they are time reverse of black holes. As a black hole attracts
everything and absorbs all the matter, a white hole is a black hole rewinding
back in time, so everything comes out of the white hole. Theory says that white
hole too have mass, charge and angular momentum and hence we may think that
they should also attract things towards them, but it is not so, since time
flows backward for a white hole and anything moving towards the white hole is
actually escaping away from a black hole. It is a well-established fact that nothing escapes
from black holes except the Hawkins
radiations therefore nothing goes inside a while hole except Hawkins radiations.
Many have a theory that our universe is also a
type of white hole and this is the reason for its continuous expansion.
Though a white hole is considered impossible but
now some predict that the Ralph’s Gamma
Ray burst (GRB 060614) which
was observed by NASA’s Swift satellite
in June 2006 was a result of a white hole, as no cosmic activity of the size of
supernova, which may result in such long ray bursts was recorded in the region.
These bursts are said to be originated from nowhere.
