Mutiny at the white-hole district
Abstract
The white-hole sector of Kruskal's solution is almost never used in physical applications. However, it might contain the solution to many of the problems associated with gravitational collapse and evaporation. This paper tries to draw attention to some bouncing geometries that make a democratic use of the black- and white-hole sectors. We will argue that these types of behavior could be perfectly natural in some approaches to the next physical level beyond classical general relativity.
