Atheists, Scientific Question?

No.

There was a time when astronomers speculated that whatever goes into a black hole must come back out somewhere else, through what would be a white hole. However no such white hole has ever been discovered.

The fact of the matter is that black holes aren't holes at all. They're just spherical objects like any other star, only more dense and with a much stronger gravitational pull.

What goes into a black hole simply becomes part of the black hole.

Good question. I don't know.

I know that the method by which this would be possible would gravitational lensing, but I'm not aware if the gravitational pull from something as dense as a black hole would simply "consume" the light emitted from an object on the other side instead of the normal bending we find around stars, galaxies and the like.

To find your answer, a search for "gravitational lensing with black holes" might be fruitful. I'm not sure we have any such evidence however.

I may have misunderstood. By "other side" do you mean through the black hole and to what may exist on the inside of a black hole? Or by "other side" do you mean object X on the other side of the black hole from our perspective within our universe?

My answer addresses the second meaning, not the first.

"Astrologists" aren't scientists, and have never done anything useful.

As for astronomers -- your question makes no sense. There is no "other side" of a black hole. It doesn't "go" anywhere, it's just a tightly compressed bunch of matter whose gravitational field is strong enough that light can't escape it inside the event horizon.

But we have imaged the area around black holes:

Peace.

An astrologist wouldn't know what a black hole is until it sucked him or her into it. And there is nothing to see in a black hole, ergo the name. To see we have to have light emitted or reflected from the object. A black hole prevents light from escaping its event horizon, so we cannot see into or beyond it. (I assume you are looking at black holes as being one end of a wormhole). Physically, we cannot see behind such an object any more than we can see behind the sun without using probes and relaying pictures.

Technically there are only candidates for black holes...mostly because they are so far away that we do not have the technology to see the star clearly and can only infer make up...so because of this no one knows what is on the other side let alone if they are real....although most of the space community would say there is a lot of evidence for their existence...just not substantial proof and there may never be in our lifetimes.

No, it's pretty much impossible to actually get a picture of the inside of a black hole. The gravitational pull is so strong they even suck in light (Explains why they're black) nothing can escape its path. The main theory of black holes is inside of one is a singularity where all the laws of physics fall apart.

That's a link to the documentary that I watched. Rather disturbing in some ways but extremely informative, highly recommend the watch, truly fascinating.

Black holes are neutron stars, they are very small but have an incredible mass, giving them an incredible gravity field, so strong even light is kept inside it. It is no hole, it's maybe a star the size of our moon or smaller (memory doesn't serve me well today).

A black hole is a singularity with immensely powerful gravity... it's not a hole, it's smaller than a single atom, and it's presumably spherical... if it was that big.

the question doesnt really make sense, or at least i'm not sure what you're getting at.

and why direct this question to atheists? do theists not believe in black holes?

No. There is no way we could get close enough to a black hole to study it in great detail (yet)
