Die einen ziehen alle Materie unwiderstehlich in sich hinein, die anderen geben ihre Information wieder frei. Sie sind ein weiteres großes Rätsel der Kosmologie, und noch gibt es keinen Beweis ihrer Existenz.

“Da qualche anno la mia ricerca si è concentrata sui buchi bianchi, elusivi fratelli minori dei buchi neri. Questo è il mio libro sui buchi bianchi. Provo a raccontare come sono fatti i buchi neri, che vediamo nel cielo a centinaia. Cosa accade sul bordo di queste strane stelle, l’orizzonte, dove il tempo appare rallentare fino a fermarsi e lo spazio sembra strapparsi. Poi giù, dentro, nelle regioni più interne, fin dove tempo e spazio si sciolgono. Fin dove è come rimbalzare indietro nel tempo. Fin dove nascono i buchi bianchi.”

E, per poterlo fare, bisogna aver conosciuto tanta gente, aver camminato per molti luoghi in silenzio. Bisogna aver viaggiato, sofferto, letto tante pagine, aver avuto molti amici e forse aver rubato loro qualche idea."

Perché l'economia italiana non riesce a ripartire? Secondo Carlo Cottarelli, la precarietà che ostacola la nostra ripresa economica non è legata a un destino che siamo costretti a subire. Deriva soprattutto da sette gravissimi errori che il sistema dell'economia italiana continua a commettere. Sono i peccati capitali dell'economia italiana: l'evasione fiscale, la corruzione, la troppa burocrazia, la lentezza della giustizia, il crollo demografico, l'incapacità di stare nell'euro, il divario tra Nord e Sud.
