Suppose the white hole was the other end of the black hole,
so that they were two ends of a wormhole (which prion is
keen on). Mightn't they just cancel out?

Of course, that makes the creation of the White Fountain in
_Urth_ a bit hard to explain, unaccompanied as it is by a
black hole. Hmmm... maybe a black hole meeting a white hole
is like two bits of pipe between universes meeting and joining
into a longer bit of pipe, which passes by our universe altogether.
A very Spectacled-Bear-like notion.
