Seeking Visualization Tools for Hypothetical Black Hole Concept

Hello all,

I have a idea I'd like to explore: If a black hole can bend light due to its immense gravitational attraction, could we imagine an 'inverted black hole' or a 'white hole'? In this hypothetical scenario, this 'white hole' would behave similarly to a black hole but with a force of repulsion instead of attraction. This repulsion would cause light to curve away from it, making it impossible for light to reach the white hole.
I'm also curious about whether there are software or codes available that could help me visualize this concept, similar to how software like 'Space Engine' visualizes regular black holes.
Right now, to keep things simple, I wish only to explore how this hypotetical object would affect light and images.

No, there is no such thing. The theoretical constructs called "white holes" are the time reverses of black holes, but still have attractive gravity.
