In the article "Monster Black Holes Spin Revealed for 1st Time" by Mike Wall, we have just measured the spin of a black hole. Scientists believe that this new method of measuring black holes can change the way we see the world. The Black hole that was measured is a super huge black hole in the middle of the galaxy NGC 1365 and it is spinning 84% faster than Einstein's theory of relativity. Other studies led scientists to believe that black holes rotated slowly, but this new study shows that some black holes rotate faster.
I think this article is really cool. The fact that we have learned how to measure a black hole shows how far we have advanced. I agree with the scientist that said that this may change the way we see the world because we now have the ability to measure things that are huge! I also think that more black holes should be measured to see if this new method works all the time. Also I think that other objects should be measured because it can tell us a lot about this measuring method.
