Matter goes on

A groundbreaking new study proposes that black holes, which absorb everything into an inescapable void, may eventually transition into “white holes” that eject matter and energy into the cosmos.

Black holes form when a star collapses under its own gravity, creating a singularity – a point of infinite density where the laws of physics as we know them cease to operate.

However, a new study, published in the journal Physical Research Letters, suggests that the singularity may not be an end but a transition point that could lead to a white hole.
