The Revival of White Holes As Small Bangs
The Revival of White Holes as Small Bangs Alon Retter1 & Shlomo Heller2 1 86a/6 Hamacabim St., P.O. Box 4264, Shoham, 60850, Israel, [email protected] 2 Zuqim, 86833, Israel, [email protected] Abstract Black holes are extremely dense and compact objects from which light cannot escape. There is an overall consensus that black holes exist and many astronomical objects are identified with black holes. White holes were understood as the exact time reversal of black holes, therefore they should continuously throw away material. It is accepted, however, that a persistent ejection of mass leads to gravitational pressure, the formation of a black hole and thus to the "death of while holes". So far, no astronomical source has been successfully tagged a white hole. The only known white hole is the Big Bang which was instantaneous rather than continuous or long-lasting. We thus suggest that the emergence of a white hole, which we name a 'Small Bang', is spontaneous – all the matter is ejected at a single pulse. Unlike black holes, white holes cannot be continuously observed rather their effect can only be detected around the event itself. Gamma ray bursts are the most energetic explosions in the universe. Long γ-ray bursts were connected with supernova eruptions. There is a new group of γ- ray bursts, which are relatively close to Earth, but surprisingly lack any supernova emission. We propose identifying these bursts with white holes. White holes seem like the best explanation of γ- ray bursts that appear in voids. The random appearance nature of white holes can also explain the asymmetry required to form structures in the early universe. -

The explanation is based on the assumption that quasar black holes are, in some sense, foreign for our Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe and do not participate in the Hubble flow. Although at first sight such a weird explanation requires unreasonably fine-tuned Big Bang initial conditions, we find a natural justification for it using the Milne cosmological model as an inspiration.

Utmost important point to be noted is that, ‘Spin’ is a basic property of quantum mechanics and ‘rotation’ is a very common experience. -
BLACK HOLES: the OTHER SIDE of INFINITY General Information
BLACK HOLES: THE OTHER SIDE OF INFINITY General Information Deep in the middle of our Milky Way galaxy lies an object made famous by science fiction—a supermassive black hole. Scientists have long speculated about the existence of black holes. German astronomer Karl Schwarzschild theorized that black holes form when massive stars collapse. The resulting gravity from this collapse would be so strong that the matter would become more and more dense. The gravity would eventually become so strong that nothing, not even radiation moving at the speed of light, could escape. Schwarzschild’s theories were predicted by Einstein and then borne out mathematically in 1939 by American astrophysicists Robert Oppenheimer and Hartland Snyder. WHAT EXACTLY IS A BLACK HOLE? First, it’s not really a hole! A black hole is an extremely massive concentration of matter, created when the largest stars collapse at the end of their lives. Astronomers theorize that a point with infinite density—called a singularity—lies at the center of black holes. SO WHY IS IT CALLED A HOLE? Albert Einstein’s 1915 General Theory of Relativity deals largely with the effects of gravity, and in essence predicts the existence of black holes and singularities. Einstein hypothesized that gravity is a direct result of mass distorting space. He argued that space behaves like an invisible fabric with an elastic quality. Celestial bodies interact with this “fabric” of space-time, appearing to create depressions termed “gravity wells” and drawing nearby objects into orbit around them. Based on this principle, the more massive a body is in space, the deeper the gravity well it will create. -
Closed Timelike Curves, Singularities and Causality: a Survey from Gödel to Chronological Protection
Closed Timelike Curves, Singularities and Causality: A Survey from Gödel to Chronological Protection Jean-Pierre Luminet Aix-Marseille Université, CNRS, Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Marseille , France; Centre de Physique Théorique de Marseille (France) Observatoire de Paris, LUTH (France) [email protected] Abstract: I give a historical survey of the discussions about the existence of closed timelike curves in general relativistic models of the universe, opening the physical possibility of time travel in the past, as first recognized by K. Gödel in his rotating universe model of 1949. I emphasize that journeying into the past is intimately linked to spacetime models devoid of timelike singularities. Since such singularities arise as an inevitable consequence of the equations of general relativity given physically reasonable assumptions, time travel in the past becomes possible only when one or another of these assumptions is violated. It is the case with wormhole-type solutions. S. Hawking and other authors have tried to save the paradoxical consequences of time travel in the past by advocating physical mechanisms of chronological protection; however, such mechanisms remain presently unknown, even when quantum fluctuations near horizons are taken into account. I close the survey by a brief and pedestrian discussion of Causal Dynamical Triangulations, an approach to quantum gravity in which causality plays a seminal role. Keywords: time travel; closed timelike curves; singularities; wormholes; Gödel’s universe; chronological protection; causal dynamical triangulations 1. Introduction In 1949, the mathematician and logician Kurt Gödel, who had previously demonstrated the incompleteness theorems that broke ground in logic, mathematics, and philosophy, became interested in the theory of general relativity of Albert Einstein, of which he became a close colleague at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. -

Aziz Faculty of Engineering and Technology Multimedia University 75450 Melaka, Malaysia [email protected] This paper proposes a new optimization algorithm based on the law of gravity. In the proposed algorithm, the black ــــAbstract hole sucks up the star that crosses the event horizon, and a white hole emits the star from its event horizon. Both black and white holes attract stars. The white hole-black hole algorithm (WH-BH) starts with an initial population of candidate solutions to an optimization problem and an objective function that is calculated for them. The white hole is selected to be the worst candidate (star), and the black hole will be the best star at each iteration of the WH-BH algorithm. The CEC2014 test functions are applied to evaluate the performance of the WH-BH. Keywords—Nature-inspired algorithm, White hole, CEC2014. 1. INTRODUCTION Every technological process has to achieve optimality in terms of time and complexity, and this led the researchers to design and obtain best possible or better solutions. In previous studies, several mathematical solutions were provided by various researchers to solve optimization problems. The complexity of the proposed mathematical solutions is very high, which requires an enormous amount of computational work. -

Farasat Shamir 3 1 Department of Mathematics, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200444, China; [email protected] 2 School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, National University of Sciences and Technology, H-12, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan 3 National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences, Lahore Campus, Punjab 54000, Pakistan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 21 January 2020; Accepted: 3 March 2020; Published: 26 March 2020 Abstract: The current paper is devoted to investigating wormhole solutions with an exponential gravity model in the background of f (R) theory. Spherically symmetric static spacetime geometry is chosen to explore wormhole solutions with anisotropic fluid source. The behavior of the traceless matter is studied by employing a particular equation of state to describe the important properties of the shape-function of the wormhole geometry. Furthermore, the energy conditions and stability analysis are done for two specific shape-functions. It is seen that the energy condition are to be violated for both of the shape-functions chosen here. It is concluded that our results are stable and realistic. Keywords: wormholes; stability; f (R) gravity; energy conditions 1. Introduction The discussion on wormhole geometry is a very hot subject among the investigators of the different modified theories of gravity. The concept of wormhole was first expressed by Flamm [1] in 1916. After 20 years, Einstein and Rosen [2] calculated the wormhole geometry in a specific background. In fact, it was the second attempt to realize the basic structure of wormholes. -
Weyl Metrics and Wormholes

We study solutions obtained via applying dualities and complexifications to the vacuum Weyl metrics generated by massive rods and by point masses. Rescal- ing them and extending to complex parameter values yields axially symmetric vacuum solutions containing singularities along circles that can be viewed as singular mat- ter sources. These solutions have wormhole topology with several asymptotic regions interconnected by throats and their sources can be viewed as thin rings of negative tension encircling the throats. For a particular value of the ring tension the geometry becomes exactly flat although the topology remains non-trivial, so that the rings liter- ally produce holes in flat space. To create a single ring wormhole of one metre radius one needs a negative energy equivalent to the mass of Jupiter. Further duality trans- formations dress the rings with the scalar field, either conventional or phantom. This gives rise to large classes of static, axially symmetric solutions, presumably including all previously known solutions for a gravity-coupled massless scalar field, as for exam- ple the spherically symmetric Bronnikov-Ellis wormholes with phantom scalar. The multi-wormholes contain infinite struts everywhere at the symmetry axes, apart from arXiv:1701.05533v3 [hep-th] 25 May 2017 solutions with locally flat geometry. -
Black Holes and Black Hole Thermodynamics Without Event Horizons
General Relativity and Gravitation (2011) DOI 10.1007/s10714-008-0739-9 RESEARCHARTICLE Alex B. Nielsen Black holes and black hole thermodynamics without event horizons Received: 18 June 2008 / Accepted: 22 November 2008 c Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2009 Abstract We investigate whether black holes can be defined without using event horizons. In particular we focus on the thermodynamic properties of event hori- zons and the alternative, locally defined horizons. We discuss the assumptions and limitations of the proofs of the zeroth, first and second laws of black hole mechan- ics for both event horizons and trapping horizons. This leads to the possibility that black holes may be more usefully defined in terms of trapping horizons. We also review how Hawking radiation may be seen to arise from trapping horizons and discuss which horizon area should be associated with the gravitational entropy.

Quantum Fluctuations and Thermodynamic Processes in The
Quantum fluctuations and thermodynamic processes in the presence of closed timelike curves by Tsunefumi Tanaka A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Physics Montana State University © Copyright by Tsunefumi Tanaka (1997) Abstract: A closed timelike curve (CTC) is a closed loop in spacetime whose tangent vector is everywhere timelike. A spacetime which contains CTC’s will allow time travel. One of these spacetimes is Grant space. It can be constructed from Minkowski space by imposing periodic boundary conditions in spatial directions and making the boundaries move toward each other. If Hawking’s chronology protection conjecture is correct, there must be a physical mechanism preventing the formation of CTC’s. Currently the most promising candidate for the chronology protection mechanism is the back reaction of the metric to quantum vacuum fluctuations. In this thesis the quantum fluctuations for a massive scalar field, a self-interacting field, and for a field at nonzero temperature are calculated in Grant space. The stress-energy tensor is found to remain finite everywhere in Grant space for the massive scalar field with sufficiently large field mass. Otherwise it diverges on chronology horizons like the stress-energy tensor for a massless scalar field. If CTC’s exist they will have profound effects on physical processes. Causality can be protected even in the presence of CTC’s if the self-consistency condition is imposed on all processes. Simple classical thermodynamic processes of a box filled with ideal gas in the presence of CTC’s are studied. If a system of boxes is closed, its state does not change as it travels through a region of spacetime with CTC’s.
