Evidence that the universe is rotating was recently delivered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which found that ...

Particles orbiting a black hole could collide at colossal energies, generating collision products that may offer valuable ...

One explanation for this phenomenon is that the "universe was born rotating," Lior Shamir, a computer science professor at Kansas State University and author of the study, said in a statement. This ...

Rotating black holes are the most powerful phenomenon in the known universe. Their powerful gravity radically alters the curvature of spacetime around them, leading to relativistic effects like ...

Similarly, passing through a large rotating black hole, you are more likely to come out the other side unharmed. mirbasar/Shutterstock.com. My colleague Lior Burko and I have been investigating the ...

Black holes are a drag. The energy that Penrose and now Pinochet suggest could theoretically be extracted from black holes is the kinetic energy that keeps them rotating.

This graph depicts the physical strain on the spacecraft’s steel frame as it plummets into a rotating black hole. The inset shows a detailed zoom-in for very late times.

The study, Magnetic reconnection as a mechanism for energy extraction from rotating black holes, was funded by the National Science Foundation's Windows on the Universe initiative, NASA, and Chile ...

In the case of a non-rotating black hole, a particle of matter outside of it can orbit, escape, or fall inside, but will remain in the same plane. When a black hole rotates, ...

Black holes do strange things to the fabric of space time, particularly if they are rotating. One well known effect is that a rotating black hole drags this fabric with it, intermixing space and ...

"If you have a rapidly rotating black hole, the space-time around it is not symmetric – the spinning black hole is dragging all of the space-time around with it," lead study author Ruth Daly, ...
