Universe may have resulted out of a ‘Big Bounce’, says Italian physicist Carlo Rovelli

Carlo Rovelli is an Italian theoretical physicist who has written several popular-science books. In his latest work, White Holes: Inside the Horizon, Rovelli explains the theoretical existence of white holes – the converse of black holes. The latter is believed to be the ultimate graveyard of all matter from which…
