Everything you need to know about the mysterious cosmic phenomenon...
• http://www.businessinsider.com, FRASER CAINBlack holes are created when stars die catastrophically in a supernova.
So what in the universe is a white hole?
It's imagination day, and we're going to talk about fantasy creatures. Like unicorns, but even rarer. Like leprechauns, but even more fantastical!
Today, we're going to talk about white holes. Before we talk about white holes, let's talk about black holes.
And before we talk about Black Holes, what's is this thing you have with holes exactly?
Black holes are places in the Universe where matter and energy are compacted so densely together that their escape velocity is greater than the speed of light.
We've done at least a million videos on them, but if you still want more info, you can start here with our Black Hole playlist.

Of course, then there is Steven Hawking saying that there are no black holes.
From http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/hawking-meant-black-holes/:
"In a nutshell, Hawking seems to be saying this: instead of an event horizon, there is something else he calls an 'apparent horizon.' In this apparent horizon, matter and energy is temporarily suspended, but then released. If this is true, it changes black holes as we know them."
In other words, science is always finding patches for some of the junk that it makes popular, when it really doesn't know what it is talking about. Perhaps it is modern scientific investigation that isn't scientifically viable.
