  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. Radioactive contamination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_contamination

    The radiation warning symbol (trefoil) Alpha radiation consists of helium-4 nucleus and is readily stopped by a sheet of paper. Beta radiation, consisting of electrons, is halted by an aluminium plate. Gamma radiation is eventually absorbed as it penetrates a dense material. Lead is good at absorbing gamma radiation, due to its density.

  4. 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.

  5. Schwarzschild geodesics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_geodesics

    The constant solution inside the event horizon is continued by a constant solution in a white hole. When the angular momentum is not zero we can replace the dependence on proper time by a dependence on the angle φ {\textstyle \varphi } using the definition of h {\textstyle h}

  6. Human blood in veins is not actually blue. Blood is red due to the presence of hemoglobin; deoxygenated blood (in veins) has a deep red color, and oxygenated blood (in arteries) has a light cherry-red color. Veins below the skin can appear blue or green due to subsurface scattering of light through the skin, and aspects of human color ...

    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 ...

  8. Cosmic censorship hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_censorship_hypothesis

    Mathematically, the conjecture states that, for generic initial data, the causal structure is such that the maximal Cauchy development possesses a complete future null infinity. The strong cosmic censorship hypothesis asserts that, generically, general relativity is a deterministic theory, in the same sense that classical mechanics is a ...

  9. 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 ...
