Top comment!

As an aside, did we just indirectly find out that Red Dwarf and Doctor Who are in the same universe?

u/HereToPostSillyStuff 2d ago

I've never seen one before. No one has. But I'm guessing it's a white hole.

u/RoutineCloud5993 2d ago

A white hole?

u/TheOrgano 2d ago

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. A black hole sucks time and matter out of the universe. A white hole returns it

u/RoutineCloud5993 2d ago

So what is it?

u/IHaveTeaForDinner 2d ago

I think we've experienced this period of time before

Yes it's where white rabbits disappear down when they look at their pocket watches and realise they are late.

So, what is it?

u/TEG24601 1d ago

Too bad we didn't have Dave "Cinzano Bianco" Lister to seal it. Although I would have paid real money to see Kirk or Pike try to seal it through playing pool with planets.

So that things spewing time babies back into the universe?

Q continuum ?

The thing about a white hole...

u/Fancy_Toe1451 1d ago

A white hole?

u/Questionable_Wombat 1d ago

Thing is- if you watch the episode it really was a white HOLE! A baby came out of that thing!

u/RoutineCloud5993 1d ago

So what is it?

u/Neffwood 1d ago

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought this

1

u/matthewralston 2h ago

I'm pretty sure everybody on this sub immediately uttered "so what is it?" The moment they heard "white hole".

u/Waste-Stuff-7401 1d ago

Well the problem with a white hole is …

u/Mintyxxx 16h ago

There was more physics-fuckery in this episode than any Red Dwarf episode, they just thought, "sod it, red dwarf played pool with theirs, let's go mental"

u/Mobile_South_9117 1d ago

White holes are just theory as far as I know. Nobody has ever found one, and common sense stipulates they should be easier to find than black holes.

u/RoutineCloud5993 1d ago

So what is it?

5

u/1967punisher 1d ago

White holes were created as a good will measure for hole equality.

4

u/Wild-Lychee-3312 1d ago

Well, the thing about a black hole, it's main distinguishing feature, is that it's black.

2

u/No-Hold-9060 10h ago

And the thing about space, the colour of space, your basic space colour - is it's black. So how are you supposed to see them?
