Scientists confirm that the first black hole ever imaged is actually spinning::The first black hole humanity has ever imaged has also provided us with what researchers are calling “unequivocal evidence” that black holes spin.
Does the black hole spin? Or does the stuff outside the black hole spin? 🤔
The black hole and the stuff outside it constitute a single system, and within that system, angular momentum is conserved. So as objects cross the event horizon, their angular momentum is transferred to the black hole.
Well… does it? If all the stuff falls in and only the volume remains, who could say that it’s spinning? How could you detect it?
For one thing, the size and shape of the event horizon change depending on the black hole’s spin.
I thought nothing actually crossed the event horizon and was essentially frozen approaching a complete stop in time in a kind of 2f representation of 3d reality until it slowly leaked out trillions of years later as hawking radiation?
If you’re asking that then you first need to ask what the distinction between the two is. and further does it even make sense for one to spin and not the other
Is there not a distinction? I assume the singularity at its center has different properties than the matter outside of that point.
Note: I have a rudimentary understanding of what black holes and their components are.
It’s in space and everything is relative, how do we know *everything else" isn’t just spinning around the black hole? 🤔
