Define white holes.
Oh, and you have left yourself open for some real silliness in the replies, by the way: a** holes, anyone?

the black hole's matter is not going anywhere it goes to the center of the black hole and sits there. it does not spew out somewhere else, if it did then black holes would shrivel up and disappear.
there is no evidence or logical reason for there to be white holes.
your argument is false and illogical. yes matter exists, what the heck does that have to do with white holes? a black hole's matter stays in the black hole, that is the definition of a black hole. technically a singularity, since it isn't actually a hole.
the term black hole confuses people makes them think of a big drain. but actually a black hole isn't a hole at all, it is just an extremely dense bit of matter.
a white hole would then have to be unrelated to a black hole and just be a spot in space that is spewing out matter, yet no new matter is being created as far as we know so a white hole contradicts the physics.
the white hole is the conradiction

This question seems to be recieving some ignorant answers, white holes are a perfectly valid mathematical solution to the equations of general relativity. The time-reveresed version of a black hole (a region of space from which nothing can escape) would be a white hole (a region of space into which nothing can fall), which must spit things out! The only problem with this theory is that creating a white hole must be as impossible a task as destroying a black hole!!

Good comment mate.
Never thought about White Holes before, but it does make sense.
If "Black Hole" matter cannot be lost from the universe or multiverse then one should expect that white holes (or some other like phenomenon) should be appearing in our universe. Conservation of energy seems to demand this
So everyone. Where are they ?
Also,
Funny how dark matter has never been detected but is only in the universe in theory, just to fill in the mathematical gaps that people like Stephen Hawkins have left.

Black Holes attract mass and light, in other words, the most powerful gravity well. So the opposite would be a gravity "repeller" pushing all light and mass away from this "White Hole". This does not exist, we do not have the ability to repel gravity, or understand how gravity interactions work. But instead of a black hole, the opposite of it could be seen as a star, it doesn't attract light, it radiates it out and it is opposite of darkness, it's light source. But the two are similar in that both attract other masses, they create gravitational pull around it.

That's because they don't have much vision. It is obvious that that if you go through a black hole then you must come out the other end into a white hole. The universe has to balance things out.

We never say White Holes, but then again, where is Black Hole matter going to ?? An alternate universe ?

Good grief!
A black hole is NOT a pigging hole!
It is a STAR, just like our star, (THE SUN)!
But its gravitational mass is equal to the speed of light, so NO light can escape.
So when viewed from a distance, against a background of stars, the lack of light will make it LOOK like a hole.
The term "black hole", is just an unfortunate description of the phenomena, and should be re named to a "dark star", to stop the idiots and the misinformed from fantasising on what they do not understand!
So if there is NO such thing as a black hole, there equally is no such thing as a white hole!

I don't agree. Matter in a black hole exists. If it didn't, the black hole would have no mass and no gravity. You don't need a white hole as a destination for the matter falling into a black hole. The black hole is the destination.

No because black holes are black because they are basically a vaccum that light cannot even exist (since radiation/light in its most brillant form, suns when young are white, devoid of that you get black). However if there is such a vaccum that insted of obliterating everything amplifies everything white holes are possible. Given space is eternity the theorists who dismiss its *possibility* are berks however thats all we know for now. :) Things change
