Ultra Massive Black Holes......

At work.

*Raises hand*

Uhm..... about that 'Spin' thing?

Can you point to the original article?   There is no minimum spin for black holes. Black holes possesses whatever angular momentum was possessed by its progenitor object and by whatever is carried by everything falling into it.  Since angular mometum had a sign, it is possible for incoming angular momentum to cancel out existing angular momentum.  It in theory is possible for a black hole to have no spin whatsoever.   There is a maximum spin when the black hole forms.  Anymore and the angular momentum would prevent the progenitor object from collapsing into a blackhole.

I don't have the article.

So... the gist goes like this.

Stars, planets etc all rotate due to physics reasons (Yah, my edumacation be gooder.  )

Stars can spin ridonculously fast. The pulsars being examples off the top of my head. Am sure knowledgable people can point to some insanely fast spinning celestial objects.

Now... black holes (The model) aren't solid. They are the effect of something also ridonculous acting on the reality around them.

The thing is that, since black holes aren't 'Solid'. They have a limit to just how fast they (The effect) can warp reality as they rotate. Uhm... as pace distorts?

So... black holes have an upper limit of how fast they can spin.

Stars have a different upper limit to how fast they can spin.

Sorry again if I'm not reading well in my post. Am running of memeory of a New Scientist article.

Hope the ideas help explain my question of.

"How fast can a 'Black Star' spin? How fast can 'Other' stellar bodiesspin? How fast can something that's just a twist in reality effectivly 'Spin'?   What do we see happening when we look out into the cosmos?"
