   White holes must therefore be surrounded by the opposite of an event horizon, something known as an antihorizon, which would allow one-way traffic out and never in. Unfortunately, antihorizons are very unstable and get converted to normal horizons in a matter of seconds after forming.

   The Kruskal diagram of the Schwarzschild geometry showed it to possess not only a normal horizon but also an antihorizon, beyond which there was, supposedly, another Universe.
