Naturally we cannot 100% exclude its existence, but the probability is low.
Ok, I agree and I get more and more in accordance with you, on these logical bases.

However, my question aimed not so much to know if white holes were discovered (you're right, it would be easy to be aware of this, for me too), as to know if, and by what methods, they were searched out.

As you say that they would be much easier to found than black holes (by now discovered each day of the week, including holidays...), it would be easy and non-expensive to verify their presence or absence in the sky, but I didn't find, AFAIK, any paper on this issue.

Regards.
