A new study suggests that a black hole singularity—where time and matter are condensed into infinitely small space—could be a transition to a beginning. This beginning is a white hole—a theoretical ...

More than 5,000 planets have been discovered beyond our solar system, allowing scientists to explore planetary evolution and consider the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Now, a UC Riverside ...

You don't have to be a science fiction enthusiast or have a degree in astrophysics to have heard of black holes. Over the past several decades, these objects have been observed all over our universe, ...

Black holes seem to get all the attention. But what about their mirror twins, white holes? Do they exist? And, if so, where are they? To understand the nature of white holes, first we have to examine ...

Our understanding of black holes, time and the mysterious dark energy that dominates the universe could be revolutionized, as new University of Sheffield research helps unravel the mysteries of the ...

Scientists have created an optical device capable of mimicking black holes and the still hypothetical white holes. This system could revolutionize our understanding of the Universe and lead to ...

Despite its name, a black hole is not an empty void. Most black holes form when stars die in a supernova explosion, collapsing under their own gravity. When a star 10 times more massive than the sun ...

It was no less a luminary than Isaac Newton who taught us that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Push on the wall, and it pushes back. With that in mind, cosmic “white holes” ...

Einstein and other early proponents of quantum mechanics felt strongly that black holes, somehow, were the key to solving the whole… universe problem. How did the universe get here? When did it get ...

A team of UBC physicists and engineers have designed an experiment featuring a trough of flowing water to help bolster a 35-year-old theory proposed by eminent physicist Stephen Hawking. In 1974, ...
