So I've just seen this video and I had a couple of somewhat interesting questions.
This pulsar (not the LoR Pulsar ) can be seen rotating 592 times a second. If we had to get closer to the pulsar we should see it spinning faster because of the huge gravitational forces in operation?
Got me thinking about black holes. It wouldn't make sense that a black hole is stationary. I reckon it's probably spinning around at crazy speeds. The only thing is that we couldn't possibly see this happening, and if we could see this happening, space-time is so warped beyond the event horizon that it would appear stationary to an observer anywhere outside the event horizon?
