Whiteholes are the missing piece of the universe puzzle ever since Einstein proposed the theory of
general relativity on paper they are supposed to be the exact opposite of a black hole
at least in terms of time relativity is conceptual so let me give you the conceptual understanding
of relativity and it starts with an awareness of Einstein based on a coincidence physicists
hate coincidences when there's something that's a coincidence either numerical or physical it means
we don't understand something the coincidence that Einstein was struck by was the fact that the
inertial mass of an object that's its resistance to a change in its motion if i push something it
doesn't want to be pushed while matter around a black hole cannot escape it and is destined to
be devoured by the concerned cosmic goliath matter around a white hole would not only be repelled by
it but most likely originate from it this begs the question what if the big bang was a supermassive
white hole and if so what does this mean about the origin and expansion of the universe
welcome to Factnomenal and today we'll solve the cosmic puzzle of the ages
What is singularity black holes can be defined as a singularity created when a massive star
runs out of fuel and dies goes supernova and then starts collapsing on itself due to its own gravity
black holes are the only singularity that we are 100 sure exists in the universe today it happens
because in a massive dead star there is a lot of matter dealing with a lot of unrestrained gravity
gravity isn't able to crush an active star inward because when a star is enthusiastically fusing
hydrogen into helium like our dear old son is doing right now the energy created from this
intense chemical affair keeps the gravity in check bursting outward and creating an equal
and opposite reaction to gravity's pressure however not every star will collapse into a
singularity at the end of its life our sun for example will become a super dense white dwarf
for it is a smaller star and would never have enough gravity to collapse onto itself
not all massive stars become black holes either for if they have enough pressure from the neutrons
being as closely packed as they can be to resist gravity it will become a neutron star however when
dying massive stars have gravity immense enough to breach that resistance the whole star starts
to collapse down and the process feeds the gravity as it becomes more and more powerful strong enough
that even light cannot escape it and so an event horizon forms around what remains of the star
and no information energy or matter can escape it soon after gravity overwhelms the dead star
inside this sphere of no escape entirely to the point where gravity becomes infinitely powerful
turning the dead star into a singularity a single point warp space and time around it
now because nothing ever escapes the event horizon we get no information out of it no
energy waves to monitor and no matter to study we really do not know what exactly is going on
inside a black hole the theory of general relativity is our best estimation of how
an enormous amount of matter can crush down into an infinitely dense small point
fortunately even though black holes are the only known existing singularities
we are aware of at least one more singularity that once existed and wasn't a black hole
the primordial singularity the universe began from a singularity or at least that's the most likely
origin we are certain of time and time again scientific studies research and debates have
strongly suggested that the big bang theory is the most likely explanation of the origin of the
universe according to this theory as it is evident that most galaxies in the observable universe are
repelling from each other the universe seems to be expanding so if we were to time reverse this
process all matter and energy would fall back towards each other to a point where all of it
would jam into an infinitesimally small point or singularity so that makes us wonder if the
big bang when all of the matter and energy burst out of this singularity to jumpstart the universe
could be classified as a white hole to begin with we don't know much about white holes because we
haven't observed them yet so without having a realistic idea of how a white hole would behave
it makes the job of classifying a certain event like the origin of the universe as a white hole
a bit harder another aspect that makes this whole phenomenon more interesting is that a lot
of astrophysicists estimate that white holes are basically the aftermath of a saturated black hole
the reasoning behind this theory is that the black holes may have a tipping point just because they
are the source of infinite gravity doesn't mean they can devour an infinite amount of matter
and energy and when they reach their limit they regurgitate everything back outwards eventually
turning into a white hole this raises the question if the big bang was indeed a white hole
could it be possible to have the entire universe trapped inside an ultra massive black hole
what was the big bang frankly if the universe did begin with a white hole spewing all the matter and
energy out the precursor to that would be a black hole containing everything inside it interestingly
that's where the whole theory falls apart black holes have definitive proof of origin a massive
star dying and collapsing onto itself but we do not have any proven origin theory for the white
holes not even the theory of a saturated black hole turning into a white hole has been backed by
any concrete evidence additionally the white holes seem plausible on paper in reality they would be
highly unstable and extremely short-lived even if they existed the ephemeral white holes would
eventually collapse since they can keep creating matter and energy out of nothing and it will
eventually turn into a black hole which wasn't the case with the big bang however if that argument
doesn't satisfy you here's a definitive one in a paper by Roger Penrose from 1974 on singularities
he mentioned white holes black holes and the big bang as different types of singularities
Roger Penrose is a famous mathematician nobel prize winner and a long-time collaborator of
the late Dr Stephen Hawking he mentioned in that paper that black holes and white holes
are singularities that exist within space it is also examined in the theory of general relativity
that these singularities have the mass that makes them warp the space and time around them
that phenomenon doesn't apply to the big bang as the big bang didn't happen within space it was
the expansion of space itself this leads us to believe that the big bang didn't originate from
a single point but rather happened all at once everywhere in other words the big bang wasn't
a single point of origin in space but it was space and time originating from a singularity
however that doesn't mean that the universe was created by the big bang
the matter wasn't created by this event do not mistake the big bang as the point of creation of
the matter in the universe the matter didn't originate from a point in space-time during
the big bang and got repelled outwards as it would be in the case of a white hole
the matter was always there in the singularity in the form of energy the big bang was just the
universe adapting to its ever-changing density and jump-starting its expansion in short the big bang
wasn't the moment of creation of the universe but an important part of the evolution of the universe
so what caused the expansion now that we have made it clear that the big bang wasn't a white hole nor
the point of creation of the universe there is still one question that remains unanswered
what caused the expansion of the universe how did the big bang occur and that is the
missing piece of the puzzle it is the questions of all questions that we have about our wonderful
unbelievable and mystical universe because we have no evidence of it we do have evidence
that the big bang occurred the big bang theory takes us back to the 10 to the minus 36 seconds
after the expansion started that's 0.36 more zeros and one second after the big bang
earlier than that we have no idea model or theory that can explain what was going on as there is no
imprint ripple or wave caused by it that can still be observed in the universe the galaxy positions
primordial black holes like quasars cosmic microwave background none of them has shown us any
clue from the pre big bang universe that's why we are still missing a grand unified theory which has
led to many wild weird and rabbit hole types of speculation so here's where we turn it over to you
could proving the existence of white holes change everything we know about the universe
drop us a comment about what you think is on the inside or the other side
of a black hole and as always thanks for watching Factnomenal
