In other words, when we affirm that a thing doesn't exist, are we bound to explain on what basis we exclude its existence, or can we pass over?
I seemed that here, in this forum, the former is due, not the latter.

I base my meaning on the fact that, although I am not up to date with the theoretical work etc. on white holes, there would have been a tremendous scientific uproar when one of these objects would have been found. Up to now, there has been no such thing, and a white hole would be a rather peculiar highly intense object, which would be much easier to find then a black hole.
Naturally we cannot 100% exclude its existence, but the probability is low.
