Physicists found a mathematical trick: a single 'generating function' replaces mountains of calculations for a spinning black hole. Now the most complex calculation is just a derivative. They managed to see in detail how a black hole rips apart a neutron star upon encounter.
🎯 Generating functions were invented in the 18th century for coin change problems, and now they unlock the mysteries of black holes.
🎬 The stretching of a neutron star resembles scenes from 'Interstellar': the black hole Gargantua similarly deforms everything that approaches it.
