What other type(s) of space holes could exist? We know of black holes, white holes, and worm holes. but what would a 4the kind be, and what it do? And I don't mean like a pot hole of the earth, I mean holes that are in space.

Actually, we don't know that wormholes/white holes exist...we have no evidence to support their existence.
However, a wormhole would be composed of a black hole and a white hole put together if they did exist...so this is only one type of "hole".
But the term "hole" is not literal. These are not really holes. Space itself is closer to the definition of an actual hole.
If you just want another cool theoretical spacey term, try Dark Matter.
a white hole would eject matter or energy that had been sucked into a black hole
seems to me that if the matter being sucked into a black hole was expelled somewhere else, it would contradict the whole concept of a super dense point with strong gravity
and the theory of nothing being able to ecape it
I wish I understood the prevailing theories on this stuff...
but that seems like a good point, seed
and even if a black hole did have a corresponding white hole, it would need to meet up at the same place (or very near to it) but we don't see it meeting up in the XYZ or Time axis...so it seems that you would have to believe in a 5th dimension to believe in a white hole.
if black holes and white holes are just theories, then how could be you sure they wouldnt meet up on the XYZ and time axis?
black holes have a lot of evidence
by definition, a white hole would be expelling the matter sucked in from a black hole at some other point in the universe. but matter does not move at discrete intervals (ie, it does not jump, it slides) so if matter is moving out of a black hole it must be going into another dimension because we dont see it shooting out of a black hole in our dimension...thus, it seems that by definition, a wormhole between two places in our universe would necessarily imply 2 wormholes connected to and from an extra dimension
ah i see... so why does it slide?
the motion of an object changes with a rate
therefore, the position of an object is defined by initial position, the rate, and the change in time...
in a computer, time is discrete...so we can look at the problem at time 1, time 2, time 3...and it will be at position 1, 2, 3...but it will essentially be jumping from position 1 to 2 to 3 without ever being at position 1.5, 2.5, 3.5. in this discrete world, it is possible for the position to change instantaneously from one place to another.
in real life, time is continuous...so an object which moves from 1 to 3 has hit every place along the way, including 1.5, 1.1111, 1.anything...so it is not possible to jump from one place to another...so i dont think matter which is concentrated in a black hole could just appear somewhere else when it comes out
ah so i see... thats makes sense to me...
