We have shown though out this blog observations of our environment suggest that space is composed of a continuous non-quantized field of energy/mass.

The observation that one can completely define a black hole in terms of just two numbers; its mass and spin is one of them.

The video to the right prepared by the Chandra X-ray observatory team explains why.
The narration begins:

“Black holes sound wildly complicated.  After all, there are all sorts of bizarre things going on: intense gravity, the warping of the fabric of space, the distortion of time itself.  But when it comes to describing black holes, it comes down to just two numbers: the mass of the black hole and its spin.  That’s right.  Everything you physically need to describe a black hole is found in just these two numbers.”

However, there exists a fundamental theoretical inconsistency between the existence of black holes, these two numbers, and our present interpretation of the composition of a vacuum.

The video describes how it is possible to measure the mass of a black hole, which according theory is a result of the gravitational collapse of a mass to a singularity or an infinitely density one-dimensional point.  This means the mass of a black hole has no volume.

It goes on to explain that they measure its spin by observing how “The black hole’s gravity strips gas from that star and  forms a swirling disk of orbiting matter as it falls toward the black hole.”

But, as mentioned earlier according to theory, the mass of a black hole is contained in a singularity or an infinitely density one-dimensional point which has no volume.  Therefore, it cannot have the properties associated with spin.

However, this means they must be observing the spin of the vacuum that makes up the black holes gravitational energy boundary and not the spin of the mass at its center.

This fact was recognized in the video when narrator says, “Near the event horizon, the black hole’s spin drags everything around with it, an apple, an astronaut, even space itself, at the dizzying rate of 750 revolutions per second.”

However, this observation implies the vacuum we associate with space which is devoid of all particular matter such as apple or an astronaut is also spinning. 

But our present interpretation of the vacuum is that it does not contain any substance such as an apple, an astronaut or particle, therefore it cannot have the properties associated with spin.

Hence because we observe the vacuum of space to be spinning around the infinitely dense one-dimensional point mass of a black hole it must contain a substance that will allow us to assign it a property of spin.

Therefore, because a vacuum is defined as a volume that does not contain any apples, an astronauts or particles one must assume that it must contain a continuous non-quantized or non-particle field energy/mass for us to be able to assign the property of spin to it.

Therefore, the observations made in the video “Just two numbers is all you need” means if the mass of a black hole is confined to an infinitely dense one-dimensional point with no volume as theory predicts, we must modify our understanding of the composition of vacuum to include a continuous non-quantized field of energy/mass.

Some may try to define the spin of a black hole in terms of the spin of matter falling into it.  However according to the theoretical bases on which a black hole is formed they can exist without any matter falling into it.  Therefore, one cannot use it to explain the spin of a black hole.
