Other people: get drunk, and have fun?—I don’t actually know what normal people do when they drink.

What I do, is have entire conversations with astrophysicists (Neil Degrasse Tyson) in my head about the mathematical properties of black holes.

Ok, so look, but why are black holes mathematically classified as spheres? Don’t turning objects get flatter? I figure planets are still sphere-ish because they just don’t turn fast enough/aren’t dense enough. But black holes? Guys, we need to figure this out.

I know black holes gotta be spinning—they were once spinning suns! And we’re seeing the light from behind them, so it’s gotta be spinning.

Is it like an infinitely dense still point surrounded by spinning junk? But isn’t that also considered part of the black hole? Where does the black hole start and end? The event horizon I know gotta be spinning, so is that part a flat disk? It’s the quintessential knowledge point of black holes: black holes contain an event horizon, but if they’re not the outer layer of a spherical they’re not part of the black hole vis a vis mathematics definition.

Why. Are. Black. Holes. Spheres. Help.
