Forget theoretical, white holes and worm holes don't exst. Its more a joke than anything. If you flip the rate of time into a negative (meaning time goes backwards), then when you plug that into the Theory of Relativity, the force that gravity pulls with also comes out negative (meaning its pushing out with force, rather than pulling in).
 * 1) White holes, wormholes, and Hawking radiation are all theoretical

Its just a "if one Basic Law of Physics is broken, then this one is too" sort of thing.

As for Hawking Radiation, of course its theoretical. Everything to do with black holes is completely theoretical. Have we ever actually been able to closely examine black holes? Nope. Same with quantums. Everything in science is theoretical. Not even the Theory of Relativity is 100% yet.

Hawking Radiation is a theory based off of the Conservation of Mass Principle, which states that mass cannot be created nor destroyed, only rearranged. Contrary to popular belief, the idea of a black hole consuming the world and growing larger is completely fictional. Black holes absorb mass, but fail to grow in size. They can't be destroying the matter, as stated by the Conservation of Mass Principle, so it must be going somewhere. Hawking Radiation is the explanation for why black holes do not grow in size, and actually shrink over time.
