Milky Way’s Black Hole: A Near-Light-Speed Spin Revealed by AI
Milky Way’s Black Hole: A Near-Light-Speed Spin Revealed by AI Our galaxy’s heart beats with a cosmic whirlwind. Scientists have used artificial intelligence to reveal that Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, is spinning at an astonishing speed – nearly the theoretical maximum. A team led by Michael Janssen at Radboud University employed a groundbreaking approach. They trained a neural network on millions of simulated black hole models, each requiring millions of supercomputer…
