A Kerr black hole introduces the concept of frame-dragging as a consequence of rotation. It is hypothesized that a combination of the space-time distortions and most importantly the frame-dragging within the event horizon allow for paths connecting points in space-time that would require superluminal speeds to reach normally. Superluminal speeds are considered by some to be a method of traveling in time (called a traversing closed time-like curve).
Remember, it is special relativity that has a prohibition on traveling at superluminal speeds, not general. Since frame-dragging is a general relativity concept, it has been used to justify a superluminal travel theory. Also, the physics within the event horizon can only be accurately predicted with a theory of quantum gravity better than one we have right now. So, time travel in a Kerr black hole still needs some theoretical work, even though preliminary calculations suggest it as a possibility.

David E says it proper. The intensity of the suction, gravity, rigidity or inspite of, is so large that a metallic ball, a human body or mild from a interior sight fashionable individual ought to easily disappear into it, unseen. There are not any modern-day kit or sensors that ought to 'see' or degree the scale of black holes. hence you may nonetheless only deduce the presence of a black hollow with the aid of using staring on the moves, habit and inexplicable disappearances of heavenly products and streams of sunshine. except attempting to be sure out the barriers of the Universe, blackholes are virtually between the right mysteries of deep area.

Im not sure how but maybe because the area of Space-Time in between the singularity is warped enough so that it could allow time travel.

Since time travel is only theoretically possible your question is improper.
"How MIGHT a rotating..."
Would allow for speculation.
"How DOES..."
Requires a factual response.

You should really stop getting your physics from Star Trek or Kip Thorne.
