• non spinning black holes

    From raymond.yohros@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 25 22:45:35 2020
    I read somewhere that it was possible to
    see some BH in nature that do not spin.

    How exactly can this be when
    everything in nature always shows that
    any vortex formation ends up with a spin?

    r.y

    [[Mod. note -- It seems very likely that all black holes in nature do
    indeed spin. But it might be that some spin quite slowly.

    I don't know if this would necessarily be true for primordial black
    holes. Of course, we don't know whether they exist, and there are
    various theories about their formation. Interestingly, if LIGO detects
    any low-mass black holes (not much lower than those already detected),
    they will probably be primordial, since there is no other way known to
    form them.
