White holes are hypothetical extension of eternal black holes. White holes, like black holes have properties like mass, charge, and angular momentum. Consequently a white hole will attract matter like any other mass. However any objects falling towards a white hole would never actually reach the white hole's event horizon, as it is the reverse of a black hole. In example, while a black hole can be entered from the outside, nothing, including light, has the ability to escape. Conversely while a white hole attracts matter, nothing, including light, has the ability to enter from the outside (e.g. matter and light have the ability to escape).

Note: The prevailing hypothesis is that there are no lone white holes. Rather a white hole, in general relativity, is a hypothetical region of SpaceTime which appear in the theory of eternal black holes. In addition to a black hole region in the future, such a solution of the Einstein field equations has a white hole region in its past. However, this region does not exist for black holes that have formed through gravitational collapse, nor are there any known physical processes through which a white hole could be formed.

Why do white holes to appear?

The concept of a white hole only appears as part of the vacuum solution to Einstein's field equations that are used to describe a Schwarzschild wormhole, which is a black hole on one end, drawing in matter, and a white hole on the other to emit matter.They are unstable.

If there are black holes does that also mean that there are white holes scientifically?

No, it does not mean that.Black holes and white holes are two different "solutions" of the equations of General Relativity; but that doesn't imply that one, or the other, actually exist. It is now almost certain that black holes exist; as for white holes, there are theoretical problems that may make them impossible, such as: * A white hole is, in many aspects, there reverse of a black hole. And just as there is no way to destroy a black hole, there is no way to CREATE a white hole. * It seems that in a white hole, entropy would decrease over time.


What happens to the matter that gets spit out of the white hole inside of the white hole?

The existence, or possibility, of white holes has not been confirmed. Any ideas about white holes are very speculative.
