[tag:black_hole]Black holes[/tag] can reach maximum spin in finite time, violating the third law of their mechanics — like a whirlpool instantly gaining speed.

Black holes can break their own laws. In a new experiment, a hole spun up to its limit in finite time, defying the ban. Like a spinning top that suddenly reaches supersonic speed without effort. Now physicists must rethink the rules for extreme objects.

🎯 The third law of [tag:black_hole]black hole[/tag] mechanics was born from thermodynamics: there, absolute zero temperature is unreachable in a finite number of steps. For [tag:black_hole]black holes[/tag], extremal rotation corresponds to zero temperature. Now it turns out this threshold can be reached without a long buildup.
