Black Holes Could Split Like Cells

New research shows black holes might split into two if spinning fast enough.

In brief

New research shows black holes might split into two if spinning fast enough. Black holes could split into two if spinning at maximum speed, but this is rare and requires specific conditions. Originally reported by Futurism.

Black holes might split into two if spinning at maximum speed, but this is rare and requires specific conditions.

Entropy and Spinning

Entropy, a measure of disorder, makes non-rotating black holes unable to split, but fast spinning could allow separation.

Splitting Conditions

The black hole must spin at maximum speed and the resulting holes must separate to avoid merging.

In short

Black holes could split into two if spinning at maximum speed, but this is rare and requires specific conditions.
