angular momentum - Which way does a black hole spin?


As far as I understand, and from what I have been shown in renderings of black holes, they spin (like water going down a drain).



  • My question is, firstly, does the matter being pulled into a black hole spin?

  • And secondly, do they spin clockwise or counter clockwise, and why?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
