Black Holes

Abstract

It seems using double standards in physics can explain why in recent years physicists have started to talk about black holes as something established and accepted (by not interpreting “infinite time” as “never”), whereas, according to the Schwarzschild solution of the Einstein equation, black holes will never form for distant observers (like all of us) since they require infinite time for that (in the case of light, the “infinite time” needed for it to leave a black hole has been interpreted by the same physicists to mean “never”); black holes require finite time to form only for observers falling together with the collapsing star.
