A question about Jump Holes

[jammi]

In addition, I'm pretty sure that the collapse of the Jump Hole to that Omicron system with Nomad Hive was launched manually to stop the Order from stealing the Power Cell - at least it makes more sense than SUDDENLY collapsing Hole to a system with THAT important object.

It was just a plot device. Don't read so much into it.

I am under the impression that a black hole is actually just a very dense, very strong worm hole. It has been theorized that black holes do actually have exit points called white holes. The only problem is that the singularity of a black hole is so deadly that a ship would be destroyed before it could ever make it to the white hole exit point. Otherwise, I think it could be theoretically possible for someone to travel to another universe via a black hole-white hole tunnel.

So far as I know, black holes and white holes are entirely different structures altogether. After you've been crushed to subatomic matter by its gravitational pull, you're not going to be spat out elsewhere. Really, white holes were just someone spitballing with Newton's law of 'equal and opposite reactions'.

Then again, the whole thing is hypothetical until we can drop some probes into one and watch it vanish. Either that, or actually locate one from here and bend some light around it (or not, as the case would be).
