Pretty damn cool; Was just a matter of time... And space.

When the simulation is so overloaded it drops from 60fps to 15fps...

The most mindbending thing about a spinning black hole frame dragging is that it results in a revolution in the local spacetime around the black hole not being 2pi, but something less, depending on the rate of spin and the mass of the black hole.

Frame dragging is such a wild idea that we can actually measure. Earth’s spin twists spacetime just enough that precision gyroscopes slowly drift over time. Thanks for making the concept feel visual and intuitive.

Fluid dynamics seeming like a better analogy now

From LIGO I remember that they estimated Young modulus of spacetime... Some enormous number

I'll have my spacetime on toast, please.

The world is just so much more complicated than we can even grasp, this is such a weird phenomenon, because it mean time is a strange liquid with some viscous property. It also make photon that much more weird because they have this intimate relationship or lack off, depending on you view point, with time.

that animation of the blackhole destroying a star is amazing, that luminous thing being shot in the hyperspace is also very funny for some reason.
