Solo Talk: White holes are a mathematical fantasy

Does math lead us astray?

The mathematics of Einstein's general theory of relativity seem to make possible the existence of white holes, where matter is spewed out rather than being sucked in as in the case of a black hole. But is mathematics always a guide to the true nature of reality? Join us as Daniel Sudarsky, Professor at the John Bell Institute for the Foundations of Physics, makes the case against white holes.

Timetable:

17:20 GMT - Opening Interview: The creation of white holes arena

19:20 GMT - Solo Talk: White holes are a mathematical fantasy arena

18:00 GMT - Headline Debate: White Holes: Fact or Fantasy? arena
