HOW NOT TO SPIN A BLACK HOLE

Since it isn't easy to keep astrophysics right down to Earth, the layman needn't hang his hat on all of its lore. Taking a little latitude right now, your informant proposes that black holes don't spin as much as some folks might suppose.

As far as magnetism goes, it should suffice that a slowly rotating accretion disk would do that job just fine. It makes up for low rotation by its generous radius of who knows how many light years, cranking googol after googol of protons around a galaxy's axis.

Suspicions arose upon contemplation of the inner dimensions to the disk of protons involved. All loose protons located below the rim would represent commensurate endothermic displacement for the distance involved, all the way down to the event horizon. The electrical charging in terms of such displacement would seem to have been derived from energy of the original orbital velocity of the particles. At one extreme, all such kinetic energy would have been extracted once a charged particle halts above the event horizon amidst the deadlocked tug of war between the black hole and the rim of its accretion disk. A momentary neutralization from an electron tips the scale, affording acceleration into the singularity, reacquiring a kinetic form of energy untainted by tangential momentum. Short of such an extreme, all protons, to the extent that they are depressed from the rim of the accretion disk, manifest electrical storage of energy taken from kinetic energy of orbital revolution.

Calling the initial premise of these blogs "electroconcentric macropolarization", "Myrtle Effect", or whatever; the forsaken electrical effects on cosmic architecture should work wonders for any dedicated scholars humble and generous enough to heed these clumsy explanations.
