No, stars are not "white holes", but from what I understand about black holes is that they induce singularity and eject thhat in another point in space and time. Maybe not stars, but given how we've gotten good at finding black holes, shouldn't we have found at least one "white hole" by now? Iif not, where does the stuff go, or does it just add to the black hole's mass?
