In the answer to the question   ID 435 411 921.AS,  the Moderator's note said 
that the event horizon is a flattened sphere.  I understand  that a spherical 
mass which rotates will become flattened by centrifugal force, but in this case 
there is no mass rotating. and no radiation or field can escape from the black 
hole.  ??
Thank you,  George Prehmus
