Black Hole Angular Velocity: Is Expansion Feasible?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

A small black hole cannot achieve an angular velocity sufficient for the centripetal force to equal or exceed gravitational force, preventing its expansion into a quark star or neutron star. The discussion confirms that adding mass to increase centripetal force is not feasible in nature. Consequently, the singularity at the center of the black hole would remain intact, as expansion into a different stellar state is not possible.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of black hole physics
  • Knowledge of angular momentum and centripetal force
  • Familiarity with quark stars and neutron stars
  • Basic principles of gravitational forces
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of black holes and their singularities
  • Explore the mechanics of angular momentum in astrophysics
  • Study the formation and characteristics of quark stars and neutron stars
  • Investigate gravitational forces and their effects on celestial bodies
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, astrophysicists, and students studying black hole dynamics and stellar evolution will benefit from this discussion.

Could a small black hole achieve an angular velocity such that the centripetal force is >= gravity, which would expand it enough to turn into a quark star or neutron star? I realize that in order to rotate the black hole further, more mass must be added that will increase the amount of centripetal force needed to expand it, so is it actually feasible in nature? If it can, would the singularity still exist at the center?

No it can't.
