Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 5423–5426 (1999)Oscillatory Null Singularity inside Realistic Spinning Black HolesReceived 8 July 1999; published in the issue dated 27 December 1999 We calculate the asymptotic behavior of the curvature scalar (Riemann)2 near the null weak singularity at the inner horizon of a generic spinning black hole, and show that this scalar oscillates an infinite number of times while diverging. The dominant parallel-propagated Riemann components oscillate in a similar manner. This oscillatory behavior, which is a remarkable contrast to the monotonic mass-inflation singularity in spherical charged black holes, is caused by the dragging of inertial frames due to the black hole's spin. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
