White holes—are they real, or just a fascinating theory in the realm of astrophysics? 🌌 Unlike black holes, which pull everything in, white holes are theorized to do the opposite: eject matter and ...

This mind-bending outing by physicist Rovelli (Anaximander) explores the possibility of the existence of white holes, the hypothesized inverse of black holes. He explains that black holes were first ...
