If there are black holes in the heart of every galaxy, and maybe microscopic ones all around us, too, are there also "white holes," areas of spacetime where matter streams into the Universe from another membrane? Have we found any, or are they only figments of Frank Tipler and Kip Thorne's imaginations?

That would seem to be a violation of the laws of thermodynamics, particularly the first law (i.e., the energy of the universe is constant), for which there are no known violations (as far as I know, anyway).
I'm sure if they had been found that we would have heard about it, considering that it would provide an alternative scientific explanation for how the universe began.

All of 'M' theory is a figment of physicists' imaginations and mathematical machinations. The theory embraces the idea of multiple dimensions which are so small that we will likely never be able to see, measure or even be aware of them. I feel like we are approaching the level of understanding of the Greeks and their 'ether'. Using their standards I would say that your theory is true because I have never observed anything that contradicts it and for every negative event there must be a positive that balances it. Now, about that matter filtering thru those white holes. How do I get one to develop in my den and filtering a few thousand carats of diamonds?
