Is anything not spinning in the Universe?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the impact of spin on time dilation due to gravity, particularly in the context of black holes. It highlights that the equations governing time dilation are influenced by whether an object is spinning or not. The participants emphasize the importance of understanding the significance of spin in these calculations. Resources for further exploration of these equations were requested to facilitate deeper understanding.

PREREQUISITES
  • General relativity principles

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.
