Kinda a weird question, but: If we lived inside a black hole, the void of space would be white. If we lived inside a white hole, wouldn’t space be black? Does that mean we are within a white hole?

In theory, if we were within a white hole, space might appear black due to the absence of matter and light escaping. This idea is explored in "The Nature of Space and Time" by Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose (1996).
