Astronomers have directly observed a spinning black hole twisting spacetime, confirming Einstein's prediction of frame-dragging through the detection of Lense-Thirring precession during a tidal disruption event, using X-ray and radio telescopes, deepening our understanding of black hole physics and spacetime dynamics.
Astronomers have directly observed a spinning black hole twisting spacetime, confirming Einstein's century-old prediction of frame-dragging through the detection of wobbling in a star's debris disk and jets during a tidal disruption event, using X-ray and radio observations.
Astronomers have directly observed a whirlpool in spacetime caused by a rapidly spinning black hole, providing the first empirical evidence of the Lense–Thirring precession, a phenomenon where a spinning black hole drags spacetime around with it, confirming a long-standing theoretical prediction.
