MORE IN THE NEWS -- SCIENTISTS FINALLY MAY HAVE SOLVED LONG-STANDING BLACK HOLE MYSTERY From a contributor: Black holes might end their lives by transforming into their exact opposite — white holes that explosively pour all the material they ever swallowed into space, say two physicists. The suggestion, based on a speculative quantum theory of gravity, could solve a long-standing conundrum about whether black holes destroy information. The theory suggests that the transition from black hole to white hole would take place right after the initial formation of the black hole, but because gravity dilates time, outside observers would see the black hole lasting billions or trillions of years or more, depending on its size.
