A new paper from Harvard's sometimes controversial physicist Avi Loeb has suggested that if we want to find advanced alien ...

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

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

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 ...

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.

Obviously, black holes aren't the only cosmic objects that rotate, but there is something very special about rotating black holes or "Kerr black holes" that isn't true for other spinning cosmic bodies ...

"I think that the simplest explanation of the rotating universe is the universe was born in a rotating black hole," University of New Haven theoretical physicist Nikodem Poplawski, who champions ...

Black holes are mysterious objects. One longstanding question has been whether rotating black holes, which are so powerful they drag space-time along with them, could be used as an energy source.

New research that used imaging from the James Webb Space Telescope gives credence to a scientific theory that says the Milky Way is inside of a black hole ...

Without a doubt, since its launch, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revolutionized our view of the early universe, but its new findings could put astronomers in a spin. In fact, it could tell ...

Rotating black holes. Some black holes, however, rotate in a different direction than the accretion disk around them. This phenomenon is called counterrotation, ...

Ergosphere (for rotating black holes):In rotating (Kerr) black holes, there is an additional region called the ergosphere. It lies just outside the event horizon and is where spacetime is dragged ...
