A white hole is at the cervix of the ‘birth canal’ of the Big Bang?

I don’t know what a white hole is, but I know we have a half white hole in the White Mosque.

They are not part of conventional (atheist) big bang models, so far as I know.

However, many biblical creationists are advocates of White Hole cosmologies such as have been developed by Dr. D. Russell Humphreys and Dr. John Hartnett. According to their proposals the creation of the universe was done from an initial white hole as described in the article above.

Or Kryten and the rest on Red Dwarf?

He has never seen one before, no one has.

Since gravity always attracts, never repels, I'd guess white holes are extremely rare.
Maybe if a black hole from another universe decides to empty its contents here.
Or a black hole going backwards in time.
If either of those are even possible. Big ifs.

Maybe a ‘White Hole’ is what a ‘Black Hole’ turns in to when it fills up......................

If there were microscopic black holes created after the Big Bang, they might get around to decaying and exploding as white holes any day now. Except, according to Stephen Hawking, they would have already evaporated. Another interesting idea put forth by physicists, is that a white hole might explain the Big Bang, since this is another situation where a tremendous amount of matter and energy spontaneously appeared. In all likelihood, white holes are just fancy math. And since fancy math rarely survives contact with reality, white holes are probably just imaginary.

Yikes, makes me want to eat that last cupcake...

The outer limit of the expanding Universe is THE white hole.

From what I understand, a “white hole” shakes out of Einstein’s theory of general relativity. It could exist only at the beginning of the universe and would’ve created relativistic effects in the opposite direction from black holes. In other words, it would accelerate matter at far, far faster than the speed of light in all directions, until acted upon.

After Stephen Hawking said the earth might turn into another Venus from man made global warming I don’t listen to anything he says.
