  2. White hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_hole

    Like black holes, white holes have properties such as mass, charge, and angular momentum.They attract matter like any other mass, but objects falling towards a white hole would never actually reach the white hole's event horizon (though in the case of the maximally extended Schwarzschild solution, discussed below, the white hole event horizon in the past becomes a black hole event horizon in ...

  3. Gravitational singularity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_singularity

    While in a non-rotating black hole the singularity occurs at a single point in the model coordinates, called a "point singularity", in a rotating black hole, also known as a Kerr black hole, the singularity occurs on a ring (a circular line), known as a "ring singularity". Such a singularity may also theoretically become a wormhole. [18]

  4. Wormhole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormhole

    In order to satisfy this requirement, it turns out that in addition to the black hole interior region that particles enter when they fall through the event horizon from the outside, there must be a separate white hole interior region that allows us to extrapolate the trajectories of particles that an outside observer sees rising up away from ...

    It doesn't take a degree in astrophysics or expertise on Albert Einstein to appreciate “White Holes,” theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli's latest book. Rovelli liberally sprinkles quotes from ...

  6. Kruskal–Szekeres coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruskal–Szekeres_coordinates

    The negative T singularity is the time-reversed black hole, sometimes dubbed a "white hole". Particles can escape from a white hole but they can never return. The maximally extended Schwarzschild geometry can be divided into 4 regions each of which can be covered by a suitable set of Schwarzschild coordinates.

  7. Prince Rupert's cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Rupert's_cube

    Wallis assumed that the hole would be parallel to a space diagonal of the cube. The projection of the cube onto a plane perpendicular to this diagonal is a regular hexagon, and the best hole parallel to the diagonal can be found by drawing the largest possible square that can be inscribed into this hexagon. Calculating the size of this square ...

  8. Outline of black holes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_black_holes

    Intermediate-mass black hole – black hole whose mass is significantly more than stellar black holes yet far less than supermassive black holes. Supermassive black hole – largest type of black hole in a galaxy, on the order of hundreds of thousands to billions of solar masses. Quasar – very energetic and distant active galactic nucleus.

  9. Pigeonhole principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeonhole_principle

    Since each person shakes hands with some number of people from 0 to n − 1, there are n possible holes. On the other hand, either the "0" hole, the " n − 1" hole, or both must be empty, for it is impossible (if n > 1 ) for some person to shake hands with everybody else while some person shakes hands with nobody.
