Spinning Black Holes

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Why is the spin of a black hole important? Scholars explore spinning black holes and how they relate to momentum, matter, and mass. They investigate the different parameters that are used to measure black holes by understanding how they relate to physics concepts, making real-life connections by seeing how this knowledge helps explain other current discoveries.
