Are rotating black holes producing a frame dragging effect inside the event horizon?

Are rotating black holes producing a frame dragging effect inside the event horizon? Is that effect moving space inside the event horizon at speeds far greater than the speed of light?

What distant observer would see if spaceship remains insitu just outside event horizon?

Imagine 2 spaceships found themselves just outside the event horizon of a blackhole, spaceship A tries to remain in place relative to the black hole while B accelerates around the blackhole. To a ...

Is there a possibility of frame dragging inside the event horizon?

Is there a possibility of frame dragging inside the event horizon? If frame dragging is related with gravity and space and as the black hole fills a space and produces a gravitational effect that ...

Speciality of rotating black holes? [closed]

I have read that there are different properties of black hole which are rotating like, they drag the spacetime, with them. Also I read that they have kind of 'ergosphere' along with event horizon. ...

Frame drag of event horizons

I was having a discussion with a friend and he brought up that you could float into an event horizon and not know that you had gone in. I believed this only works with a Schwarzschild black hole. He ...

Why is frame dragging possible for perfectly spherical spinning blackhole?

Even factoring the bulging as it spin very fast, I imagine no fluctuations in the density of gravitons emitting along the equator so how can frame dragging occurs? I know a gravitational wave depends ...

What does that mean, a black hole "rotates"? [duplicate]

A black hole has: a mass electrical charge angular momentum? In the inner, there is a singularity, all the mass, collapsed to one point. The event horizon is surrounding that singularity. How can a ...

How can a black hole rotate if time dilation stops time at the event horizon?

How does a black hole rotate if time is dilated to infinity (e.g. stopped) at the event horizon? Note: this is relevant to this question, but different: How can a singularity in a black hole rotate ...

Frame dragging around a black hole

If you have one stationary non-rotating black hole, being orbited by a 2 or more black holes just outside each other's event horizons does this alter the size of the central black hole's event horizon?...
