Headline Debate: White Holes: Fact or Fantasy?

December 16, 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Debate Panel Experts include: Robert Lawrence Kuhn, Creator of Closer To Truth; Laura Mersini-Houghton, Professor, UNC-Chapel Hill; Roger Penrose, Nobel Prize-Winner; and Carlo Rovelli, Pioneering Physicist and best-selling author

Abstract: Can we go beyond the horizon of the universe?

Science faces profound mysteries. We’ve observed black holes, but have no idea what happens inside them. About 27% of the universe consists of dark matter, but we can’t see it and its origins remain unknown.

Recently thinkers have posited a new region of space-time that may account for these puzzles. An object that spits matter out, rather than sucking it in. A white hole. But what are they? And how can we know they exist?

Pioneer of ‘loop quantum gravity’ and international best-selling author Carlo Rovelli joins IAI Live for an evening of debate and discovery, for the first time, to defend his controversial view that white holes exist.
