The "White Hole" Theory

I have changed my belief system this very day. I now believe this:

White hole cosmology is a little known theory devised by the 6-day creationist and physicist Dr. Russell Humphreys. In his theory Dr. Humphreys envisions the universe proceeding from a white hole. A white hole is the theoretical opposite of a black hole, that is, instead of pulling things including light into itself, a white hole pushes thing out of itself. Both white and black wholes are made up of extremely dense matter and have many times more gravity then stars; this intense gravity creates an "Event Horizon". Time is effected by gravity; the greater the gravitational force the slower time in that force will proceed in relation to time outside the gravitational force. When an object has as much gravity as a black hole or a white hole there becomes an area at which time comes to a halt this surrounding area is called an event horizon. Dr. Humphreys uses this theory to assert that the earth is indeed merely thousands of years old while the rest of the universe is billions of years old. In this theory the universe was created and began to expand outside of the event horizon of the white hole before our solar system. According to Dr. Humphreys our solar system is made up of the remnants of the spent white hole and rests roughly in the center of the universe. This theory accounts for the red shifts in light and background Microwave radiation in much the same way as the Big Bang Theory. The main difference being that in this theory the universe has a center and an edge with Earth being near the center, and that there was not as much of a chaotic explosion but a careful stretching and designing of all thing that have come to be.

Unfortunately, as strange and wondrous as this is, it seems to be less than possible:

I have read a lot about Black holes and have gained wisdom of the subject. My question- are there such things as white holes-and if-what do they do?

In the full, and most simple General Relativistic solution for a space-time which has a Black Hole (in a vacuum), there are two singularities. One is in what we call the 'future-light cone' and this is the Black Hole. The other is in the 'past-light cone' and is called a White Hole. This solution is however completely unphysical in many ways and in a real Black Hole (formed from the collapse of a star for example) we cannot use the vacuum solution as there is matter present, and the White Hole singularity disappears.

So the answer to your question is that there is only such a thing as a White Hole in the theory of Black Holes and no such thing is possible physically.

So my belief system has been torn asunder, crushed, it is piffle, gone, no more. I guess I have to go back to my old scientifically proven one. Damn. But all is not lost - my ten minutes of white hole research led me to this site, which has the best quote:

White Holes

The black hole is not the only interpretation of the Schwarzschild solution. There is another possibility which instead of trapping everything in the event horizon, continuosly emits stuff. They would emit so much light, that the would be very bright white objects. In theory, anything could come out of a white hole, from dust particles to a stream of toasters(emphasis mine). More than likely, only fundamental particles would be emitted, but there is no reason to assume this.

The problem with white holes is that they violate the SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS. (This will be covered in a later section) Basically it states that any ordered system becomes more disorganized (like if you drop an egg, it will become a disordered mess, but a disordered mess will never spontaneously form a perfect egg), and so a system which produces adds order to a system is not possible. This is why many believe that a white hole can not exist.

My belief system could have had endless streams of toasters flying through space, launching toast willy-nilly through the galaxy, plunging into planetary atmospheres and being burnt like toast. I miss my newly found and discarded belief system. I like toast.
