Study: Spinning Black Holes Could Theoretically Split in Two

Researchers led by Francesco Sannino of the University of Naples Federico II published a study in Physical Review D examining whether a black hole can divide into two separate black holes. They found that if a black hole spins at the maximum physically possible rate, its event horizon can form a pants-shaped structure in spacetime, producing two distinct black holes without violating the laws of thermodynamics.
