Surely, given that the Earth rotates West-to-East, that should be the other way around?

Rotating black holes are packed with energy—here's how to unlock it

Rotating black holes are the most powerful phenomenon in the known universe. Their powerful gravity radically alters the curvature of spacetime around them, leading to relativistic effects like time dilation, light distortion, and for matter and photons to infall around them, forming accretion disks. In the case of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the center of galaxies, these disks are accelerated to close to the speed of light and emit powerful radiation that temporarily outshines all the stars in the disks.

Flood #tide. This is a #timelapse of the Belgian coast compressing 5 hrs into 16 secs. Tides are caused mainly by the Moon's gravitational pull, and the energy dissipated by the tidal flow is taken from the Moon's orbital motion, making it go a bit slower, hence a bit further away every day.

As the #Moon moves to a higher orbit its #AngularMomentum actually increases. Therefore the Earth's angular momentum needs to decrease to keep the total Earth+Moon conserved. When the Moon formed a day was probably shorter than 10 hours.

Brain twizzler for today continuing down the #angular #momentum rabbit hole.

So what's big and round and spins re-he-heally fast?

How about particles in the #LHC.

Also note that E= MC² is an approximation and the actual equation considers #relativistic speed for #mass.

So.. the question today is.. does the LHC at full power slow the rotation of the Earth because of angular momentum.

Yup.. that's a good one.

Paris 2024 Olympics to debut high-level breakdancing—and physics in action

Two athletes square off for an intense dance battle. The DJ starts spinning tunes, and the athletes begin twisting, spinning and seemingly defying gravity, respectfully watching each other and taking turns showing off their skill.

Kind of a Drag
Supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way is approaching the cosmic speed limit, dragging space-time along with it
Supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* is spinning nearly as fast as it can, dragging the very fabric of space-time with it and shaping the heart of the Milky Way.

Today I continue the theme of giving my quirky watches more time on the wrist. #AngularMomentum Illum/I automatic on my wrist. A local brand founded by watchmaker Martin Pauli here in Berne and previously known for its Revolving-Disk-System (RDS) where revolving and jumping discs replace all or some hands. Today, Pauli creates manufacture pieces with stunning urushi lacquer or miniature painting dials, as well as fountain pens.

Gravitational forces conserve #AngularMomentum
For this reason,orbits of planets of #SolarSystem are located in same plane that contains #Ellipse that describes The Earth around The Sun
When #Oumuamua was detected in 2017, it was following a hyperbolic trajectory and out of that plane, which is why it was an object from outside SolarSystem
I tried to plot its trajectory as early as 2017 but found that data available to me was very little. The animated gif is from #WikiPedia
