white hole

Reverse gravitational singularity

A white hole is a theoretical region of spacetime that cannot be entered from outside but from which matter and light may escape—the time-reversal of a black hole.

While black holes pull everything in, white holes would push everything out.

They exist only in mathematical models; none have been observed.

Some cosmologists speculate the Big Bang may have been a white hole.
