Question about White Holes

White holes! Love ‘em, hate ‘em, but you gotta accept that they exist— well, no, they’re only a hypothetical thing. A theory if you will.

White holes are, as the name implies, similar to black holes, just in the exact opposite way. Black holes are popular, meaning white holes are unpopular, meaning a lot is unknown about them (well, aside from how white holes are hypothetical while black holes are real and are thus studied more). This is bad because what if I had a feat where a character creates a white hole and I wanted to calculate it! What formula would I use?!

Now, on first instinct, my mind wanted to use the standard black hole formula. Why? Well, freezing is the opposite of heating meaning it doesn’t involve adding energy to an object, it involves removing energy. And yet, we don’t assign negative energy values to freezing feats, we assign absolute values / absolute temperature changes. Now, how does freezing relate back to white holes? Well, similar to how freezing would be the opposite of heating and yet they’re both calculated as an “absolute temperature change”, wouldn’t the same apply to black and white holes with their energy?

Now, while I’d usually just go ahead with the logic my brain uses, there’s still a lot of uncertainty here because why would it behave like freezing? What if white holes are just an incalculable hax as of right now? What do I use?

Tl;dr: white holes are so niche that I don’t know how to calculate them and would like help with finding a formula for it.
 
I actually had a similar problem with another character who also created a white hole, unfortunately by this wiki those feats are not possible to calculate.

Sincerely I agree to some extent about using black hole formula to white hole.
I searched a bit about white holes and one of the theories about white holes is that they are actually black holes that distort time making them actually "act backwards" as if someone reversed time, so essentially they would still be black holes. Another theory is that white holes are just the other side of a black hole so in essence when you create either a black or a white hole you need to create both one being the entry the other the exit.
Both those theories would make it that the minimum power of a white hole would be similar to that of a black hole.
