Matter Sucked in by Black Holes May Travel into the Future, Get Spit Back Out

Black holes are among the most mysterious places in the universe; locations where the very fabric of space and time are warped so badly that not even light can escape from them. According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, at their center lies a singularity, a place where the mass of many stars is crushed into a volume with exactly zero size. However, two recent physics papers, published on Dec.10 in the journals Physical Review Letters and Physical Review D, respectively, may make scientists reconsider what we think we know about black holes. Black holes might not last forever, and it's possible that we've completely misunderstood their nature and what they look like at the center, according to the papers.

Star-Trek proposed this theory many years ago.

That movie was a science experiment just by being made. Their intent was to make a movie so crappy that even the universe would intervene to stop it.

Fixed that for you.

Most pertinent phrases in the headline: “sucked in” and “spit out.”

Most pertinent phrases in the headline: “sucked in” and “spit out.”

There are two other words in there...

To test, Toss Nancy pelousy and chuck Schumer in. Doesn’t matter where they come out. (I’d suggest including Michael Moore but the black hole would die trying to digest him )

I'm sure the same is true for white ones too. Well, at least some of them anyway.

It stays in there until it gets spit back out and that is the future as compared to when it went in. The kjtitle is of the same sort as that “The sky is blue.”

So it gets compacted into a singularity and sometime in the future (5 billion years the blackhole destabilizes and the matter is released?

Not quite as fun a trip.

Can we sent leftists to one of these black holes to be rid of them ?

So if I go into a tunnel I come out in the future?

The end of mine is out by “Farout” (2018 VG18). You’ll have to ask Voyager to come back so you can hitch a ride.

A white hole is the time-reversed image of a black hole: in it, matter can only move outwards.

...

Kind of like antimatter. A positron is the equivalent of an electron moving backwards in time.

As the hole’s center evolves, its external surface, or “horizon,” slowly shrinks because of the emission of radiation—a phenomenon first described by Stephen Hawking. This shrinkage continues until the horizon reaches the Planck size (the characteristic scale of quantum gravity) or earlier [4, 5], at which point a quantum transition (“quantum tunneling”) happens at the horizon, turning it into the horizon of a white hole (Fig. 2).

Thanks to the peculiar distorted relativistic geometry, the white hole interior born at the center joins the white horizon, completing the formation of the white hole.

...

But once the black hole evaporates, isn’t all the mass and energy gone?

Why is Jodie Foster so frightened about going around and through the hole?

If anyone can solve the mystery as to whats at the center of a black hole, it's Mr. Owl.
