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.
I guess the next questions would be
- How fast? Really fast? Does this question even make sense?
- What does this say about the inside of the event horizon? Does it say anything? Is this black hole leaking real information?
- Is black hole spin quantized like quantum spin? Is it spin-up or spin-down?
I came here to be excited but the comments seem grumpy and I don’t know any what of the words mean that people are using.
Good video covering black hole spinning in the film Interstellar:

That’s really cool! It must have been hard to take that incredibly low res picture, and extract this much information out of!
This is a confirmation that was needed to accurately calculate the size of the black holes right?
Yeah cool but how many rpm
Is there any reason to have ever believed that they didn’t spin?
Not really. But it’s always good to get confirmation of our theories. And it’s usually even more exiting to find an error in a well established theory.
And then you’ve got to consider that at least mathematically a black hole doesn’t have any volume, so what could actually spin in something that’s infinitely small? This more or less confirms that this is bullshit.
