Kerr's rotating Black Holes. Let's generalise some of the formulas used in the static Schwarzschild case, to the case of rotating Black Holes. The Kerr metric is written in Boyer-Lindquist coordinates: where the coordinate functions are given (with G=c=1): the specific angular momentum is: The physical value of J is for a star like the sun: corresponding to a M . If a =0 we have the Schwarzschild case for a nonrotating Black Hole (or star). We define FIDucial Observers (FIDOs) as little (experimental) physicists locatedat each point in spacetime measuring all possible physical quantities in their local proper units. They'll get a hard job in the Kerr geometry. To keep their job, they have to follow the geometry which actually rotates with increasing speed towards the center. How can this be? All physical objects are dragged into circular motion by the Black Hole's rotation. Our FIDOs (which are supposed to be at rest) will follow the (absolute) space around the rotating hole. The Boyer-Lindquist coordinates naturally includes this rotating coordinate system, so in the Kerr reference frame, the geometry actually swirls like the air in a tornado. The angular velocity of a FIDO as viewed from infinity is: This angular velocity depends on a and r. The larger a, the larger

How can light be trapped by the gravitational pull of a black hole if light has no mass? ... Selected references Science background: The following information is provided to give the teacher some additional knowledge about the effect of gravity and black holes. This material can be used to inspire research topics for students or to encourage class discussion. Back to Top 1. What is a black hole? Back to Top 2. How is a black hole created? To create a massive core a progenitor (ancestral) star would need to be 10 - 20 times more massive than our Sun. If the core is very massive (approximately 2.5 times more massive than the Sun), no known repulsive force inside a star can push back hard enough to prevent gravity from completely collapsing the core into a black hole. Then the core compacts into a mathematical point with virtually zero volume, where it is said to have infinite density. This is referred to as a singularity. When this happens, escape would require a velocity greater than the speed of light. No object can reach the speed of light. The distance from the black hole at which the escape velocity is just equal to the speed of light is called the event horizon. Anything, including light, that passes across the event horizon toward the black hole is forever trapped.

This conclusion is based on a census of 27 nearby galaxies carried out by the Hubble telescope and ground-based observatories in Hawaii. The three galaxies in these images are believed to contain central, super-massive black holes. The galaxy NGC 4486B [lower left] shows a double nucleus [lower right].

Some scientists believe that there is a black hole in our very ownMilky Way. black holes were once massive stars that used up all their fuel. http://starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/StarChild/universe_level1/black_holes.html

Listen Black Holes Some scientists believe that there is a black hole in our very own Milky Way. Black holes were once massive stars that used up all their fuel . As they died out, they collapsed inward due to the pull of their own gravity . The gravity of a black hole is so powerful that not even light can escape its pull! Once any matter falls into a black hole, it disappears from the visible Universe It is very hard to see a black hole. Any object that gets too close to a black hole will be pulled inside it. We only know they are there because of the effects they have on other objects that are near them. Any object, whether some dust, or a star, or anything, that gets too close to a black hole will be pulled inside it. As the objects fall toward the black hole, they heat up and get very hot. Scientists can use special instruments to detect the heat the objects give off. That is how we know the black hole must be there. A Question How do we know that there really are black holes? Show me the Level 2 version of this page.

This article originally appeared in the February 2002 edition of Helix Imagine seeing the dinosaurs first-hand, visiting your great, great, great grandchildren in the 22nd Century, or travelling to the other side of the Milky Way in an instant. Time travel and wormholes used to belong to the realm of make-believe. But, with a little inspiration from some creative writers and thinkers, Elizabeth Warnes says physicists have begun to show us that science fact can be just as strange as science fiction. Travelling into the future... ONLINE FORUM Dr Charley Lineweaver, Professor Ray Norris, Dr Joss Hawthorne and Tamara Davis online to discuss the possibilities and paradoxes of time travel and wormholes You can read what they had to say here Einstein's special theory of relativity shows that time travel into the future is possible. The theory demonstrates that the way we perceive time is relative to our motion. Objects travelling at speeds close to the speed of light (about 300 000 kilometres per second) age more slowly than stationary objects. In 1975, Professor Carrol Alley tested Einstein's theory using two synchronised atomic clocks. Carol loaded one clock onto a plane, which was flown for several hours, while the other clock remained on the ground. At the end of its flight, the clock on the plane was slightly behind the one on the ground. Time had actually slowed down for the clock on the plane. It had travelled forward in time.
