I Is anything not spinning in the Universe?

AI Thread 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.

Today at about 4:30 am I saw the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, where they were about the width of the full moon, or one half degree apart. Did anyone else see it? Edit: The moon is 2,200 miles in diameter and at a distance of 240,000 miles. Thereby it subtends an angle in radians of 2,200/240,000=.01 (approximately). With pi radians being 180 degrees, one radian is 57.3 degrees, so that .01 radians is about .50 degrees (angle subtended by the moon). (.57 to be more exact, but with...
