Ring singularity
A ring singularity or ringularity is the gravitational singularity of a rotating black hole, or a Kerr black hole, that is shaped like a ring.
Description
When a spherical non-rotating body of a critical radius collapses under its own gravitation under general relativity, theory suggests it will collapse to a 0-dimensional single point. This is not the case with a rotating black hole. With a fluid rotating body, its distribution of mass is not spherical, and it has angular momentum. Since a point cannot support rotation or angular momentum in classical physics, the minimal shape of the singularity that can support these properties is instead a 2D ring with zero thickness but non-zero radius, and this is referred to as a ringularity or Kerr singularity.A rotating hole's rotational frame-dragging effects, described by the Kerr metric, cause spacetime in the vicinity of the ring to undergo curvature in the direction of the ring's motion. Effectively this means that different observers placed around a Kerr black hole who are asked to point to the hole's apparent center of gravity may point to different points on the ring. Falling objects will begin to acquire angular momentum from the ring before they actually strike it, and the path taken by a perpendicular light ray will curve in the direction of ring motion before intersecting with the ring.
Traversability and nakedness
An observer crossing the event horizon of a non-rotating and uncharged black hole cannot avoid the central singularity, which lies in the future world line of everything within the horizon. Thus, one cannot avoid spaghettification by the tidal forces of the central singularity.This is not necessarily true with a Kerr black hole. An observer falling into a Kerr black hole may be able to avoid the central singularity by making clever use of the inner event horizon associated with this class of black hole. This makes it theoretically possible for the Kerr black hole to act as a sort of wormhole, possibly even a traversable wormhole.
