Comment on Is a black hole spherical? How come it looks different each way you view it like on it's side or up and down?

Can you clarify what you mean by “Black Hole”? If you’re talking the accretion disk, it’s more of a pancake shape, if you mean the event horizon, then yes, roughly spherical, if you’re talking about the singularity at the centre, then trying to describe it using math and geometry is just going to make your head hurt because your brain isn’t designed to process reality that alien to your experience that laughs in the face of the limitations of human comprehension.
