A Topic Thats Not Stupid?

Someone said I need a more educating post in the Off-Topic Forums, so here goes.

White holes are not something that it is possible to understand using physical intuition. White holes pop up in general relativity (which also explains the expansion of the universe) and that theory as a whole is not easy to understand physically. The only way most people can understand general relativity is through mathematics.copyright © 1997-2006 The Curious Team (happy now?)

Anyone want to expand on this theory?

 

technically your saying a white hole is created as the backside of a black hole (yes, i mean a backside like in a digestive track kind of way), its sucked in through a black hole and spewed out through a white hole?

 

Absolutely correct, although you cannot prove that a whitehole exist, it can mathematically. Some think that the collapse of a whitehole created the universe. The collapse basically would cause infinite amount of particles to fly into space. Yet again this is contradicted by the fact that mathematically, a whitehole is infinitly small...

 

huh thats pretty cool no idea on it tho

 

technically all your saying is a white hole is the expansion of a black hole.

Though, if a black hole is impossible to fully define through mathematics, there is no relative connection between that of a white hole, which is what your basing your hole theory off of, meaning without a theory of relativity, there is no legitimate theory at all.

 

well said...well said

 

Tell me though, if a blackhole sucks, and a whitehole blows; does this mean that one may contract and the other would expand?

whitehole --> Expand
blackhole --> Contract

This kind of goes along with the theory that the number infinity divided by zero equals three.

 

wats on the other side of a blackhole?

 

I'm just wondering...did you ask permission to use that paragraph?

Or did you just rip it?

And if it is the latter, then I refer you to this link: http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/legal.php

Edit: And by the way, I didn't say you need to make more educated posts. I said don't bitch when other people don't make educated posts, when you don't.

 

Can we NOT turn this into a flame fest? Thanks.

(Too lazy to click quote. I wrote this in Fast Reply.)

The whitehole is what's supposedly on the other side.

 

The human eye cannot see a white hole, it can only be seen in the form of equation on paper. We may never know what happens or if they exist, later on i think we should discuss wormholes in the universe

 

so we go throught the black hole and then we see all white? scary

 

u won't see anything becuz the gravity of a black hole is so strong that not even light can escape it

 

SO basically if we could somehow find a way to survive going through a blackhole, we would be spit out of a whitehole somewhere else in the universe?

 

Correct, if you go through a black hole and live you could appear thousands of light years elsewhere in the universe. but of course that can't happen. Unless you got hrough a wormhole
