Seminarium Teorii Względności i Grawitacji

I offer new approach to the subject of Taub-NUT space-time supposedly possessing gravitational analog of the magnetic monopole. Starting from realizing that the source of many inconsistencies lies in neglecting the effects of the wire singularities present in that solution, I am able to explain existence of the NUT parameter by the means of quite peculiar rotation. Among many things, this leads to the consistent description of the black hole thermodynamics for the Lorentzian Taub-NUT spacetime with the essential contribution to the angular momentum and the total entropy.
