th
aesthetic values in the production of furniture, metalwork, ceramics, stained glass, textiles, CHAPTER 01

of this extraordinary artistic movement was to escape the ugliness and materialism of the
Victorian era. The artists and writers of Aesthetic style believed that art did not need to

A black hole is a spacetime where the law of physics is no longer valid. Due to strong
gravitational forces, no such matter like light or particles can get away from a black hole
when close to it; it draws everything near it like a vacuum. On the other hand, a white hole
is the reversed spacetime of a black hole where matters and lights are expelled from it. It
is a hypothetical region suggested as a solution of a black hole – as a way out from a black
hole. However, a black hole is understood as a horizontal event that draws everything in
and a white hole as a horizontal event that drives everything out, which suggests that a
white hole can’t be present in the existence of a black hole.
