Exploring the Enigmatic World of White Holes with Carlo Rovelli

In his new book "White Holes: Inside the Horizon," theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli explores the concept of white holes, the inverse of black holes, and how they might form. Rovelli takes readers on a journey into a black hole, challenging the notion that space and time come to an end within its event horizon. He suggests that as a collapsing star becomes extremely compact, the laws of general relativity give way to quantum mechanics, allowing the star to "bounce" backward through time and become a white hole. Despite the brevity of the book, Rovelli successfully conveys the wonder of the cosmos and the experience of being transported into a new universe.

"Exploring the Enigmatic White Holes with Carlo Rovelli: A Journey through Space and Time"

In an interview, physicist Carlo Rovelli discusses the concept of white holes, which are hypothetical regions of spacetime that emit matter and energy instead of absorbing them like black holes. Rovelli explains the implications of white holes for our understanding of the universe and explores the connection between space and time.
