Wormhole

Wormhole
   Standard Black Holes do not rotate or have an electrical charge. If you get a Black Hole that rotates and/or has an electrical charge, then you have something special. You could fall into this type of Black Hole and not hit the Singularity. The interior of this type of Black Hole can join up with a corresponding White Hole in such a way that an object falling into the Black Hole would be ejected from the attached White Hole. A Black Hole and White Hole that are joined in this way are called a Wormhole. The White Hole could be located anywhere, even in a different Universe. This would allow for rapid travel between distant points, another Universe or even back in time. See Black Hole and White Hole.
