Is anything not spinning in the Universe?

That's determined by the mass and radius of the object. If the spin is significant, then the equations will need to be altered to account for the effects of time dilation.

so I've started doing a few equations involving time dilation due to gravity and have been told it changes depending on if its spinning or not (like with a black hole), how different is it, and whether there is any time something won't be spinning and it needing the altered calculations

Welcome to PF. :smile:

Can you post some links to the resources you are using to figure out how to "do" your equations? That would help us to answer your question and guide you. Thanks.

It's really a question of whether the spin is significant.

1. Is the Earth the only thing not spinning in the Universe?

No, the Earth is not the only thing not spinning in the Universe. There are many objects in the Universe that are not spinning, such as stars, planets, and other celestial bodies.

2. What causes objects to not spin in the Universe?

Objects in the Universe can stop spinning due to various reasons, such as collisions with other objects, gravitational forces, or the absence of a spinning force.

3. Are there any benefits to objects not spinning in the Universe?

Yes, there are benefits to objects not spinning in the Universe. For example, objects that do not spin can have a more stable orbit, making them less likely to collide with other objects.

4. Can objects that are not spinning still have motion?

Yes, objects that are not spinning can still have motion. While spinning is a type of motion, objects can also have linear or orbital motion without spinning.

5. How do scientists study objects that are not spinning in the Universe?

Scientists use various methods to study objects that are not spinning in the Universe, such as telescopes, spacecraft, and other advanced technologies. They also analyze data and observations to understand the properties and behaviors of these objects.
