Question of the day! What are ergosphere and stationary limit, and what is an event horizon? Answer! A stationary limit is a surface around the outside of a rotating black hole. Any object which passes through this surface is always in motion - its pulled by the distortion of space caused by the rotating black hole. The event horizon is a surface that exists closer to the black hole. Any object which passes through this surface can never be seen again. Nothing, not even light, can escape from inside the event horizon (this is how the event horizon is defined and thats why theyre called black holes). An ergosphere is the region in between the event horizon and the stationary limit. More information on black holes here: chandra.harvard.edu/xray_sources/blackholes.html
