9 Batsh*t Crazy Theories That Might Actually Be True

8. White Holes: The Opposite Of Black Holes

Black holes, as weird and physics-y as they are, have firmly taken up residence in the minds of even the most disinterested layman as a legit thing.

White holes, on the other hand, are a different kettle of cosmic fish.

They're essentially the product of theoretical physicists screwing around with their sums for funsies and can be simply thought of as the opposite to a black hole. They cannot be entered from the outside, but light, matter and radiation pour out of them; they would be incredibly unstable and could only exist of not a speck of matter exists within the event horizon.

This makes them incredibly unlikely, but there are some out there who believe that this doesn't make them necessarily impossible.

There are some astrophysicists out there who think that a white hole is created when the singularity at the centre of a black hole is compressed down to its smallest possible size, and then rebounds as a white hole. There are those who even think that this is what the Big Bang could have been.
