  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 ...

    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.

  4. Schwarzschild geodesics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_geodesics

    In order to cover all possible geodesics, we need to consider cases in which is infinite (giving trajectories of photons) or imaginary (for tachyonic geodesics). For the photonic case, we also need to specify a number corresponding to the ratio of the two constants, namely m h E {\textstyle {\frac {mh}{E}}} , which may be zero or a non-zero ...

  5. Event horizon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_horizon

    At present, it is expected by the Hawking radiation mechanism that the primary impact of quantum effects is for event horizons to possess a temperature and so emit radiation. For black holes, this manifests as Hawking radiation, and the larger question of how the black hole possesses a temperature is part of the topic of black hole thermodynamics.

    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 ...

  7. Gravitational singularity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_singularity

    Before Stephen Hawking came up with the concept of Hawking radiation, the question of black holes having entropy had been avoided. However, this concept demonstrates that black holes radiate energy, which conserves entropy and solves the incompatibility problems with the second law of thermodynamics. Entropy, however, implies heat and therefore ...

  8. Radiation exposure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_exposure

    Radiation exposure is a measure of the ionization of air due to ionizing radiation from photons. [1] It is defined as the electric charge freed by such radiation in a specified volume of air divided by the mass of that air. [ 1 ]

  9. Gravastar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravastar

    Externally, a gravastar appears similar to a black hole: it is visible by the high-energy radiation it emits while consuming matter, and by the Hawking radiation it creates. [citation needed] Astronomers search the sky for X-rays emitted by infalling matter to detect black holes. A gravastar would produce an identical signature.
