When A star enters a Black Hole And is seen to spiral inward does it move in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction as is moves closer to the singularity. Does the universe have a bias toward clockwise or counterclockwise. And If so Why?

It depends on the momentum of the Black hole. Check frame fragging
