[net.physics] White Holes & Wormholes

avi (11/20/82)

I remeber reading about some theories that say that 'black holes' can
lose some of their masss by literally collapsing into themselves through
a hole they punch in the fabric of space-time. This 'worm hole' is
supposed to surface in another region of space-time where all this
energy radiates out and is called a 'white hole'. There has been some
speculation that this may be what 'quasars' are (accounting for their
tremendous energy output considering their small size) and may also account
for the 'big bang' because our 'cosmic egg' may have been a white hole.

This leads to very interesting speculations about the cyclical nature of
the universe(s) especially when some people speculate that the worm hole
goes back in time the same amount of years as the distance in light
years that the white hole is from the source. Therefore, some of these
quasars may represent what happens to our portion of the universe in the
future. Are there any more knowledgeable people out there who care to enlighten
me on this topic. This is not one of my fields of expertise.
