I believe this actually is one of the hypotheses about black hole interiors, though I forget the name. Nothing to do with terrestrial storms or vortices, though; a black hole doesn't have to have any rotation at all.


There are rotating black holes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_black_hole).


Yes, obviously most real black holes are rotating. I didn't say otherwise.


Ah, I see. I misread your previous post.


Cool.

> a black hole doesn't have to have any rotation at all.

How about the gravity or hawking radiation it emanates. I am actually surprised that matter falling into a blackhole isn't whirlpooling around it.


Infalling matter usually is "whirlpooling", see "accretion disk". That's a separate question from the structure of the black hole itself and whether there's anything inside the event horizon.
