I Is anything not spinning in the Universe?

Click For Summary
Time dilation due to gravity is influenced by whether an object is spinning, as seen with black holes. The degree of this effect varies significantly based on the object's spin. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the context and significance of spin when performing calculations related to time dilation. Resources and equations are necessary for accurate analysis. Ultimately, the conversation revolves around the impact of spin on gravitational 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.
 
"Pop III stars are thought to be composed entirely of helium and hydrogen with trace amounts of lithium, the ingredients left over after the Big Bang. They formed early on, around 200 million years after the universe began. These stars are extremely rare because they died out long ago, although scientists have hoped that the faint light from these distant, ancient objects would be detectable. Previous Population III candidates have been ruled out because they didn't meet the three main...
