TL;DR Summary

Physicists have achieved a groundbreaking feat by creating a "quantum tornado" in superfluid helium, mimicking the behavior of black holes with unprecedented precision. By studying the vortex, researchers have identified similarities between the vortex flow and the influence of a spinning black hole on the curved space-time around it, offering new insights into the behavior of black holes. This experiment has the potential to unlock a new area of black hole science and predict how quantum fields behave in curved spacetimes around astrophysical black holes.
