And finally, at the black hole’s core, space and time dissolve, and a white hole is born. One of the most remarkable aspects of Einstein’s relativity is that your time is not my time. The flow of time is relative. It can change. In particular it depends how fast observers (i.e., us) move in relation to each other or how close we are to massive bodies (like a black hole). So, to an outside … Continue reading White Holes (Carlo Rovelli)
