Black Holes Take Light For A Spin - Science News
Black Holes Take Light For A Spin - Science News: "But researchers hadn’t explored in detail the possibility that rotating black holes could also take light for a spin, imparting angular momentum to the radiation, comments Martin Bojowald of Pennsylvania State University in University Park. “The black hole influences spacetime in such a way that light with net orbital angular momentum is automatically produced,” he says."
