Purpose of the thorn:
To find the event horizon of a numerical spacetime by integrating a null
-surface backwards in time. The basic equation is equation 2 in Anninos et. al,
-Physical Review Letters, 74, 630, 1995.
+surface backwards in time.
The surface will be parametrized as the 0 value isosurface of a level
-set function. Hopefully this will work when the topology changes from
-one common event horizon to two individual event horizons.
+set function. This ensures that it is possible to handle cases when the
+topology changes (when evolving backwards in time) from one common event
+horizon to two (or more) individual event horizons.
