Scientists say the rotation of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy has created pressure on the fabric of space-time, bending it into the shape of a soccer ball.
According to Tekna technology and technology news service, there is a huge black hole in the center of the Milky Way called Sgr A, whose mass is about 4 million times that of the Sun. The high rotation speed of this massive black hole has caused the fabric of space-time to be strongly bent and shaped like a soccer ball.
In a recent paper on the rotation speed of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, astronomers say the black hole's rotation speed has been determined by X-ray data from the Chandra Observatory and the Very Large Array Radio Observatory. In this study, it was found that this black hole has an angular velocity of about 60% of the speed of light and an angular momentum of about 90% of the speed of light.
According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, mass causes space-time to bend. In fact, space-time covers the world in the form of a 4-dimensional fabric, and its effect can also be seen in the form of gravity. The smallest mass can cause this fabric to bend and affect it. For example, even you yourself have caused space-time bending now. Of course, the bending of spacetime due to small objects is not very noticeable in front of very huge objects such as black holes or entire galaxies.
The bending of spacetime due to massive objects will cause strange events. For example, as a result of this bending, it will be possible to observe the distant space of the universe, as well as the collision of black holes and neutron stars. Also, waves are created as a result of this collision.
Recent studies by astronomers also show that the huge black hole in the center of the Milky Way has caused strange events in the plane of spacetime. The high rotation speed of this massive black hole has caused the space-time around it to be shaped like a soccer ball.
