Do black holel spin in different directions when in different places in the universe? Like toilets on earth.?

I am afraid the previous answer & the assumption in the question are both wrong. Water 'plug-hole spin'  is NOT affected by which side of the equator or the spin of the earth. It is affected by local currents & irregulaities in the surface of the bowl. If you are careful, you can prove this at home, but it takes a lot of patience.\n\nBlack holes DO actually SPIN. See the link below, for an example of using spin to get energy out of a black hole. Also read some modern theory on black holes, they eject plenty of stuff!

Masses with large gravitational field bend space all the time. Light traveling towards a star bends at close proximity and strengthens out when its farther away.\n\nBlack holes are said to hold immense gravitational field that not only does it bend space and time, it can also rip a hole through our 4-dimensioned universe.

stephen hawking has said that balck holes indeed behave like black bodies, emitting some radiation, usually gamma and x rays. \nAlso, when matter falling into the black hole causes the black hole to spin. This creates a magnetic field like that of Earth's, emitting the high energy particles in the form of jets through the north and south poles of the rotating blackhole.\n\nSo, some kind of info might be released from a black hole, thats if the spaceship can detect these signs.

First off, that a black hole sucks everything around it in is basically a myth.  The pull of a black hole at a distance r>Rhorizon is equal to the pull of any other equally massive spherical object.  So if the sun collapsed into a black hole, ignoring the fact  that it's not nearly massive enough (by a factor of 10), we would still feel the same pull of gravity and remain in the same orbit.  That said, in a quickly rotating black hole, there is an inner horizon where the inescapable fall towards the singularity at  the center of the black hole is halted.  Inside this second horizon space remains spacelike, meaning time travel is possible, unfortunately escape from this inner horizon is impossible because there is still the area between the inner and outer horizon which is one directional and impossible to penetrate.

This theory is formulated by lot of laws and was given by a theory of relativity in which Albert Einstein says that if two things travel in opposite direction with or greater than the speed of light you could look into the future..\nbut it sounds to be impossible ...\nwhile some scientists say that if a object goes near a black hole and a small torque is given to that it starts rotating at a speed nearly equal to light...\n           you can refer theory of relativity for more answers...

gravity shows them to move and rotate. the hubble space telescope has pics that show it in time lapse of course.

I would like to say thanks to the Coriolis effect, toilets flush clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern.  But it is not true.\nThe twisting effect of the Coriolis force is real and does influence certain large things like the movement of air masses, but the effect is so small that it plays no role in determining the direction in which water rotates as it exits from a draining sink or toilet. The Coriolis effect produces a measurable effect over huge distances and long periods of time, neither of which applies to your bathroom. Toilets and sinks drain in the directions they do because of the way water is directed into them or pulled from them. If water enters in a swirling motion (as it does when a toilet is flushed, for example), the water will exit in that same swirling pattern; as well, most basins have irregular surfaces and are not perfectly level, factors which influence the direction in which water spirals down their drains. The configuration of taps and drains is responsible for the direction of spin given to water draining from sinks and bathtubs to a degree that overwhelms the slight influence of the Coriolis force.

Black holes almost certainly exist. Wormholes almost certainly do not.

Episodes of the Simpsons and urban legend have it that the spin of flushed water is determined by the hemisphere one is in, presumably because cyclones, hurriances, and other large-scale forces of nature spin in opposite directions in opposite hemispheres.\n\nUnfortunately the force that makes hurricanes and cyclones spin in opposite directions (the Coriolis force) operates on a very large scale, over thousands of miles in fact. The forces that determine whether the toilet flushes clockwise or counter-clockwise are a function of the toilet, no more, no less. The Coriolis force does not operate on such small scales as the whole manifestation of its effect is seen due to the difference in rotation between two points on Earth that are far apart.\n\nSo the answer to your question is "Depends on the toilet", nothing else.

you're thinking of a worm hole. a black hole will, as far as we know tear things apart to as it takes them to a different part of our universe, which doesnt make sense because nothing can escape from them. Anyway, a worm hole, which is theoretical -mostly- is like two black holes connected at their vertex's. think of the universe as a thin sheet of paper. one black hole is is on the right side, and another on the left. fold the piece of paper so that the black holes are lines up. instead of traveling from point A to point B, you just go through space in manner of speaking from point A to point B "just like that". there really isnt any just like that, but that's as best i can describe it with out actually showing you. sorry if this makes no sense.

This depends on how the toilet bowl is constructed.\n\nThe hurricanes (cyclones) spin the other way and the snail shells spiral the other way, I think.

The bit of knowledge I do have would suggest it should go straight down, but as never been to the equator have no proof.\n\nThese are some comments I have found:\nIt is scientifically proven it will go directly down without spinning unless you are just a bit over to one side of the equator.\n\nThe way your toilet flushes is completely random.\n\nMichigan University teamed up with Victoria University (In Wellington) to test it. They got a really big tank, drilled a hole in it, filled it up and watched the way the water spun as it drained. It was a fifty-fifty split in both places.\n\nMy science teacher went to the equator and did it and it said it went straight down when PERFECTLY on thr equator.

Not long after "sliding" in to a black hole your body will be totally shredded down to individual atoms. When you stand here on Earth your feet are actually pulled downward more forcefully than your head. This is because your feet are closer to Earth's center of mass where the 'pull' of gravity is strongest. Same thing happens inside a black hole, only the difference in gravity pulling at your feet and head are many millions of time greater--you get ripped apart.

No!  Yet more bad science frequently stated in classrooms around the world.  Students in science classes are often told that the coriolis effect causes water spiral out the toilet and drains in opposite directions in different hemespheres.  This is not true.\n\nCyclones (tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons, etc) DO spiral in opposite directions in the two hemespheres as a result of the coriolis effect, counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.

The center of a black hole is, I believe, called a "singularity" which is literally a point of no dimension in this universe - collapsing inward on itself at nearly the speed of light, crushed by gravity and propped up by relativity, a "nothing."\nOr maybe it really is a Tootsie Roll.

no, it's because of the rotation of the earth.  Clocks in the southern hemisphere go around the other direction, like your toilet ;-).\n\nIt's because the shadow on a sun dial in England goes around that direction.

The short answer is that toilets flush to the shape of the toilet - not because of northern or southern hemisphere location\n\nThe longer answer is that in theory it is possible that the "Coriolis effect" will change the the rotation of the flush. The Wikipedia link below has a detailed analysis. It can be abbreviated to "it's possible in an exact, scientific, controlled environment"
