    to be honest, i didnt understand anything of this, the only thing i understood, that, it's like an unstable wormhole, or, black hole, is a hole, suck mater, and white holes, just take it somewhere else,and black holes, ony exist, in some cases of a star death, anyway,
    so, can anyone explain more to me, in english pleas,

    It's hard to see how any natural phenomenon could ever create a white hole. I feel, while black holes almost certainly exist, white holes almost certainly do not.

    Wasn't there speculation at some point that any time a black hole was formed the "corresponding" white one also came into existence?

    maybe yes, maybe no, you can say that we almosy know nothing about white holes, or black holes,

    White holes- as you hope they would work- do not exist. There are no spots in the universe where matter is pouring out from nothingness- that goes against conservation.

    Yeah. They are called "stars". There's one really close to us. If that doesn't work for you, then what you're probably looking for are neutron stars. They are pretty far off, but still visible using telescopes.

    Are you thinking of the Schwarzschild wormhole? They're pretty difficult to justify physically because you need substances with negative mass to hold them open.

    If you don't know what the discussion is about you probably shouldn't be responding.

    I think that white holes were proposed by Hawking to solve information loss. If black holes made a doorway to another universe, and the stuff that fell into a black hole exited through the white hole, there would be no problem with information loss. The information would just be transferred from one universe to another.

    Today, most theorists would agree that this idea is not right, but the fact that some people historically took white holes as a viable phenomenon is a testament to how bad the information loss problem actually was.

    If I understand right- White holes are allowable by the math, but not necessarily allowable by the universe.

    As commented by Prom, they relate to the Schwarzchild wormhole. When you construct the Penrose diagram for a Schwarzchild space-time you need white holes in order to make a complete diagram.

    so, the while holes, can be like, wormholes, but unsunstable

    I think there is something of a possiility.

    Black holes actually do have something similar to an asteroid belt or the rings of saturn.

    But its light not matter, if light hits the right angle it will actually orbit the black hole. Many large black holes near light sources would have such rings of light, but if an object intersects the light the light will lose orbit.

    If a black hole dies and loses gravity the accumulated light orbiting the black hole would scatter in all directions.

    but the black holes also suck light,
    so, you're saying, like, it was attracting, but when it dies, it lets it's prisoners free,
    anyway, how does a black hole die?

    You mean the Event Horizon?

    What could cause such a thing and what does this have to do with white holes?
