Why does there have to be an "other side?"

That is a good question. We have no evidence that white holes exist. A black hole forms when a star cannot counter act gravitational attraction by fusion any more and so all of its matter compresses to an infitismal point. Once the star is compressed beyond the event horizon nobody nows what happens to it. However, since we have found numerous black holes but no white holes yet I think it is safe to assume that, at least in the universe that we can observe, black holes do not have a white hole associated with them.

Nope... there doesn't HAVE to be anything. A black hole, as far as we know... is just a big ol' sucking gravity well that is SO strong it compresses all matter (and even light) -- probably to the point that it breaks it down into quantum particles.
Nobody knows what happens to things that get sucked INTO a black hole - therefore, we cannot even guess if anything can ever come out of it.
Scientists have been theorizing that a black hole may function similar to a "wormhole" ... thus creating the possibility of a "white hole" ...but we don't know for sure.

Not correct..! What lies on the 'other side' of a black hole is absolutely and totally unknown. You could be right, but the other side of a black does not *have* to be a white hole. Anyone can say anything about what's on the other side of a black hole because no one can prove them wrong...or right either.

Its certainly a possibility, but there is nothing in physics that says there HAS to be an "other" side of black hole.
And there is no evidence to support the idea that the "other" side of black hole is a "white hole".
And there is no evidence to support the idea that a black hole even has an "other" side.

Well we dont really know whats on the other side of a black hole, but if t does have and other side the "White hole then it would have to be and object releasing a tremendous amount of light and x-rays. i think that the balck holes could be the Quasars that are brighter that some closer stars yet are billions of light years away.
up 2 u 2 decide
hope i helped

If there is another side, then logic would say it was a white hole. All the light that gets sucked into the black hole would come out, thus giving it a white appearance to counteract the dark, lightless black holes.
So yes, probably, but only if there was another side.

In keeping with modern physics, there is no "other side" to a black hole. Anything that reaches the event horizon CANNOT escape, it is inexorably drawn in and never escapes. Even light cannot escape a black hole.
But weird things do happen. Imagine this (it took me a while to wrap my itty-bitty mind around it): At the event horizon there could possibly be an infinitesimally small area where light stands still! Light is traveling away from the black hole at the same speed it is being pulled into it...light standing still...amazing.
Black holes....weird stuff!!!

The word hole in this case is really misleading. It's really not a hole but is more like a "black" ball of intense energy like a star who's gravity is so great that it won't let any light go.
Think of our sun. If somehow it's gravity got so great that it quit sending light from it's surface. It would look "black" because it is no longer shining and giving off light.
There is no "hole" in space to go through and come out of.
If you got near one, you'd end up going splat like a bug on a windshield against the surface of the object.
I hope this clears this up for you.

No. There is no other side of a black hole. A white hole is a solution to mathematical representations of black holes; this doesn't mean that they really exist. In fact, most astrophysicists reject the existence of white holes.

There is no White Hole because of the fact that a black hole is a super dense core of a super nova explosion which means that gravity is so intense that it can suck in light creating a black hole whirlpool illusion. but you can see a black from both sides because it is only separated by a disk of exploded star contents circling around it.
