You are likely familiar with black holes in space. A black hole is a region in space where gravity is so intense that nothing, not even light, can escape. It forms when a massive star collapses under its own gravity, compressing its mass into an infinitely dense point called a singularity, surrounded by an event horizon—the boundary beyond which escape is impossible. Black holes influence their surroundings by warping spacetime.
While piecing together the night sky
in a jigsaw puzzle that Desiree and I have been working on, I encountered a
white hole. This white hole appeared because I have been unable to successfully
fit pieces into one area, even though I managed to assemble the field all
around it. The section where the white hole exists is made up of the same
colors as everything around it. To me, there is no apparent reason why I can’t
find the proper pieces and fit them in place. I don’t know why the hole formed.
I can’t comprehend the science behind this one, but something is warping here,
too.
I’m sharing a photograph of the white
hole.
