An amazing mathematician, to put it lightly. I remember learning the Atiyah-Singer index theorem [1] and how it relates to anomalies in quantum theories, it absolutely blew my mind. And then every time I came back to anomalies I would redis

Also, did we forget of LIGO's recent observations of black hole mergers, in perfect agreement with the GR calculations? Nothing else (known, or proposed) can match that.

Put simply, matter certainly falls into a black hole in finite time. Black holes merge, as LIGO recently observed gravitational waves from, if that helps give some "direct" evidence. Yes, studying the exact formation for a black h

There are indeed people who closely study the process of forming a black hole from collapsing matter, hoping to understand things like the singularity and event horizon. I have not ever heard of any good results that show that a black hole

They also (are believed to, based on famous calculations by Hawking) radiate like a black body with a temperature related to their mass. And this leads to them losing mass over time, eventually evaporating. (Leaving what is a subject of muc

I'll take your comment in good faith, but there are very good reasons to believe black holes exist and that, for instance, the center of our galaxy contains a very massive black hole and not a neutron star. This is basic general relati

A better definition is a black hole is something with an event horizon. (for your last comment, see my previous response)

Regarding your last point: that depends on your reference frame. From the outside it does appear to take "forever" to get into a black hole, but if you were the one falling in...it happens much quicker, certainly not taking an inf

Perhaps not as well known, but there are two other books in the same world as Neuromancer (The Sprawl Trilogy), with some relation between them (not much in one of the novels, a bit more in the other, but either way helps to have read Neuro

His books are famous to physics students (of all levels) for their terseness. Perhaps most useful when you understand already, or as a goal of comprehension.
