2 Extended Space-Times, Causal Structure and Penrose Diagrams |
The event horizon is the boundary of the black-hole region separating it from the Causal Past of Future Null Infinity, namely:
H = ∂BH ∂J − J + |
(2.5.14) |
Let us now comment on the properties of region III of Kruskal space-time. Differently from the black-hole region II, where all future-directed causal curves end up on the singularity, in region III this is the inevitable property of past-directed causal curves. Namely every one who happens to be in region III at some instant of time had origin in the singularity and came out from there. Furthermore all futuredirected causal curves starting in III necessarily cross the horizon and end up either in the flat asymptotic region I or in its copy IV. Hence III is just the time reversal of a black-hole, named a white hole. A white hole emits matter rather than swallowing it and therefore evaporates as soon as it is formed.
Although white holes are a part of the classical Kruskal vacuum solution, it is doubtful that they might exist in Nature. When one considers the gravitational collapse of realistic stars, the presence of matter fields in the Einstein equations removes the presence of the white hole sector from their solutions. Furthermore, as it will become clearer in next chapter where we study the fascinating relation between the Laws of Thermodynamics and those of Black-Hole Mechanics, white holes violate the second principle of thermodynamics, reducing rather than increasing the entropy and this is one more reason for their absence from the physical universe.
