In 1971 Zel’dovich proposed that a rotating metallic or absorbing cylinder will amplify light with angular momentum if the cylinder rotates faster than the light oscillation frequency. That condition made it impossible to see…until today

Amazing to see this experiment to finally work, after many years trying. Finally seeing the Penrose-Zel'dovich idea of amplification from a rotating black hole (or absorber) come to life. Great work by
