Supermassive Spinning Black Holes

It's important to understand that a black hole is not the star itself. The event horizon results from the star's gravity, while the remnants of the star reside near the theoretical singularity.

How fast can a black hole (BH) spin? Is there a limit to frame dragging? As a result of spin in a supermassive black hole, could a star be geometrically forced into a torus shape rather than a singularity? Could the ultimate spin of a toroidal structure frame drag enough to cut its connection to spacetime?

If a spinning torus were suddenly freed in Euclidean-dimensioned space, would its centrifugal energy cause inflation? Would it simulate a black hole in reverse? Could this lead to the creation of a new universe? As it expanded, would its spin decrease? At a radius of about 7 billion light-years, would the curvature cause the slowdown to be accelerated as the gravitational curvature of the torus or sphere dominated? Would the curvature, similar to gravity wells but reversed, become more "attractive, "speeding up the expansion?

Are we just beyond the spin slowdown of our universe? Can spin be determined by a flattening at the poles? Are differences in spin influenced by varying directions of observation? Can a connection be made with the Hubble Tension? Could such a process represent a continuum where a feeding black hole in one universe causes expansion in another as an ongoing process?

What do you think? Let me know!
I am using a tornado as an analogy.
 
I do not think there is any analogous object when referencing a black hole, as they are unique. A tornado is formed from the outside.
Imagine material falling into a black hole whereby it falls in nearly parallel to the surface of the event horizon. The spin is continued inside the space defined by the event horizon (which spins at a similar speed).

Material 'recently' falling in has a speed on the inside of the event horizon. The gravitation of the star (which is near the supposed singularity) causes material to fall. The material falling spins faster (like a skater pulling its arms inward). Speed and frame dragging get bigger.

The analogy with a tornado is that low pressure = gravity. It is calm at a tornado centre. There is no material spinning in the centre of a Torus. A tornado grabbing material and hurling it around in a circle eventually sends it catapulting off as if centrifugally ejected. The Torus may do the same to create a Big Bang

A thought experiment! I picture material spiralling into a black hole like a skater pulling in their arms to spin faster. Inside the event horizon, the material gets whipped around quicker and faster due to the intense gravity and frame dragging. The analogy is like a tornado with gravity being like the low pressure pulling everything in. Similar to how stuff gets flung out from a tornado, maybe, just maybe, something similar could happen in a torus-shaped structure within a black hole, leading to a Big Bang-like event. How's that? Maybe.

The Accretion disk on the outside near a black hole viewed from afar is shaped like a Torus and forms mega effects with feeding black holes (Quasars). A similar situation inside the event horizon BUT by definition, nothing can get out into our universe therefore it forms another Universe!

Well, here's another analogy; as the dancer crosses over the event horizon of the BH, everything is theorized to slow down, and get stringy; skaters can also move their arms in such a way as to slow the spin. I would theorize everything moves slower inside the EH. However, a tornado is empty in the center, a BH is full. I see few, if any, comparisons there.

  1. Nothing slows down on entering the EH. No change was noticed by a person on entry. We are talking about supermassive black holes, tidal forces are gentle, no spaghetti, and no time change is noticed. NB. Time appears to slow when observed from normal space but continues normally for the object falling in.
  2. Material entering is as per a tornado spinning with the space that is frame dragged (just inside the EH) at first. Further inside the EH where the volume is reduced toward the centre (as the radius is less and less), the spinning material pulls its arms in (so to speak) and rotation speed increases continuing until the smallest possible size is reached. Note material progresses to the centre under the gravitation of the star.
  3. Spinning material (including the star) at its minimum possible size is a TORUS with an unoccupied centre - just like a tornado (a horizontal cross-section through one). Not a singularity.
  • Point 1 applies to a non-rotating black hole. I used this instead of a spinning one as that process is quite complex
  • Conjecture: can an ultimate spin where compressed material forms the collapsed (ing) star at the smallest size and where the spin is a smidgin from 'c', do a tornado trick and cast the material outward (the frame dragging reaches a critical point where conditions are so extreme that the spinning star torus detaches from our space) and produces a Big Bang to birth another universe
  • The process might feasibly be a continuous one whereby the new universe expansion speed varies in synch with the parent feeding blackhole (or not feeding) i.e. the two universes are linked
  • Think 'Daisy Chain'/cyclic universes/Mobius strip in multidimensions
  • Information - not destroyed
