Summary
Kerr Ellipticity
refers to the
Distortion of a black hole's event horizon
from a
Perfect sphere
to an
Oblate Spheroid
due to the
Black hole's rotation
. This phenomenon is a direct consequence of the
Kerr Metric
, which describes the
Geometry of spacetime
around a
Rotating black hole
, highlighting the intricate relationship between mass, rotation, and
Spacetime Curvature
.
