White Holes

well strictly the hole itself doesn't since nothing can escape once it has passed over the EH.

 

If you take the virtual particle argument (because I don't know any other) then they are created in the vincinity of the hole just outside the EH, and some escape the hole's pull.

 

Empirically, it's the same, as they're only emitted because of the hole's presence.

I'm not too sure of this but, Wouldnt the result of the death of a star (Please dont go into how after a red giant explodes or collapses, something still remains, I use the tearm "death" loosely) and the out burst of a super nova, in more than one sense, be a white hole?

 

Like I said, I didnt think this one through much.

 

And on a side note, isn't the existence of our very universe, (the ever expansion into nothing side of things) also the opposite, to a certain degree, of a black hole?

if you said this, then you could define allsorts of things to be white holes. the reason black holes are black holes are because they are specific types of objects where the gravity is so high that light cannot escape.
