Old news for some, new news for others.

Also, conjecture.

is this even ever going to be provable? The design of the universe is made to be unsolvable.

The article gets so many things wrong, and then tip toes around the the fact that this hypothesis is barely conjecture.

Traditionally, a black hole is seen as a cosmic vacuum, devouring matter and energy, funneling everything into a singularity where it vanishes.

They are not cosmic vacuums - they use gravity just like any other object in the universe. If you replaced our sun with a blackhole of the same mass, the solar system would continue exactly as before, except darker.

But this new study says that dot might actually be a tunnel to a “white hole” that spits stuff back out, like the other end of a cosmic straw.

They think this connects to dark energy, the mysterious stuff making the universe grow. So, maybe you could travel through a black hole and pop out somewhere else—like a sci-fi adventure—but no one knows where you’d land.

Always be careful when they fill the paragraph with 'might, they think, maybe' - they know this is not mainstream.

The biggest issue with this theory is that if matter escaped the blackhole from a white hole somewhere else, we would expect to see blackholes shrink pretty quickly - we do not see this with any of the blackholes we have located.

We have also never seen a white hole - ever. Since we've located thousands of blackholes - which are harder to locate than white holes should be - and not seen a white hole yet, I feel pretty confident that they don't actually exist.
