If no motion, there might be no universe.

There is a unifying wave function within …. An ocean can have waves whereby the water does not travel…. Reach a criticality in density of matter, and all becomes calm, except the wave. Space-time becomes so precipitously steep at the junction of this wave, that radiation cannot “step over” the wall without slipping back in both space & time – whereby all frames of reference collapse into one…. etc.

The notion of “motion of spin” then becomes something else other than a merry-go-round ….

Even an object approaching a black hole tangentially and being captured by it will now be in a similar situation. How does one distinguish this from frame dragging? Also, it took a very sensitive experiment to measure the frame fragging around the Earth with Gravity Probe B. How do we measure that around a distant black hole?

Great post! Thanks!

There is probably a lot to be said and measured based on just that. Probably through (frame dragging?) and the rate which matter travels into a blackhole could determine how fast it’s actually spinning/rotating and perhaps the blackhole’s scale, unless there is already ways to do such a thing.
