A beam of light, slipping through a rotating black hole, enters a mirror universe.
Abstract

We examine null geodesics (photon paths) that connect two asymptotically flat regions of the maximally extended Kerr spacetime and pass through both horizons and the ring singularity. Using impact parameters, a closed subset — the inner throat — is identified, where the radial potential has no real roots, meaning photons experience no radial turning points. Within this region, there are at most two geodesics of constant latitude, one of which is directed along the principal null direction. A forbidden polar interval is determined, restricting geodesics that reach an asymptotic observer. The equations are solved analytically and numerically in Eddington–Finkelstein coordinates; the results are consistent with and refine previous formulas. The constructed trajectories are used for simulations of an observer in the negative r region: strong distortion and inversion of images are visible, with possible applications to white holes.

An ordinary black hole is a trap from which nothing escapes. But a rotating black hole is structured differently: at its center is not a point, but a ring of infinitely compressed matter. Space here is curved to the limit, and light rays trace unimaginable loops.

Ring singularity is a hallmark of the Kerr solution for rotating black holes. It allows matter and light to avoid being crushed into a point.

New research has revealed: thin beams of light slip through this ring, like a thread through a needle's eye. The slightest miss and the beam perishes, but a precise hit carries it into a mirror-reflected universe with inverted laws. From there, our sky would appear upside-down and distorted.

This picture helps understand the hypothetical white hole — an object that does not suck in, but ejects matter.

And so, information that falls into a black hole may not be lost, but seeps through the ring into another world.

🎯 The central ring of a rotating black hole is like a needle's eye: the slightest miss dooms a falling object, but a perfect hit ejects it into a mirror universe.

🎬 Passing through a rotating black hole into another universe echoes the wormhole concept shown in the movie 'Interstellar'.
