but rather gushes out a "white hole" at the other end of the black one, the theory goes.

Then it follows that black holes in other universes are gushing matter into our universe through white holes.

Question: Why haven't we seen any of them?

"According to a mind-bending new theory, a black hole is actually a tunnel between universes"

Uh.....the theory isn't new.

The way I read it, only one black hole in only one other universe would be gushing into a white hole in our universe.

In turn, all the black holes found so far in our universe—from the microscopic to the supermassive—may be doorways into alternate realities.

Oh, I hope so! Hey. Maybe every time someone dies, they form a black hole and go into a better universe!

I hear a giant sucking sound on my radio telescope! Could it be a black hole or something else?

Be careful how you handle that universe, there.

obviously a few amongst us , not here of course, slip and bob and weave thru “doorways into alternate realities” .. occasionally.

Wormholes or Bust, Baby!

There’s a black hole in Washington, D.C. It’s definitely an alternate universe.

Lots riding here on things we’ve never directly observed. I concede there
are massive compact objects out there, but how they perform at the limit of the theory is not established.

Like part of a cosmic Russian doll, our universe may be nested inside a black hole that is itself part of a larger universe.

Let's open it up and see what's inside.

Because we live in an "alternate reality?"

Quasars are one such possibility.
