The passage around this formula
Rotating (Kerr) holes complicate the static-observer story: inside the ergosphere, no observer can remain static relative to infinity at all, and a locally nonrotating (ZAMO) observer is instead dragged around the hole at an angular rate fixed by the metric, with a redshift-like relation between locally measured and asymptotic energy that generalizes =/ to the appropriate lapse function of Boyer-Lindquist coordinates [ 13 ] . The ergosphere is also where the Penrose process operates: a particle split inside the ergosphere can send one fragment outward carrying more energy than the original particle possessed, with the deficit paid by the hole’s own rotational…
