Dec 9, 2020 at 17:59 comment added Edouard My impression had been that stars pass thru the usual cycle, ending in the formation of a neutron star, before collapsing (if their mass is sufficient) in the formation of black holes and (usually) leaving a former binary partner continuing in the elliptical orbit they had previously shared. The former partners of more than 90, in those orbits, have been seen telescopically.
Dec 9, 2020 at 17:53 comment added Edouard Nikodem J. Poplawski has, between 2010 & 2020, written numerous preprints on the Arxiv site (several of them subsequently printed by such reputable publishers as Elsevier) showing that, by use of 1929's Einstein-Cartan Theory rather than 1915's General Relativity, explanations employing singularities can be avoided in a model of inflation based on torsion, rather than the non-rotating (scalar) field usually employed in inflationary cosmology. Like some descriptions of them on PSE, the preprints can be found by his name.

Aug 31, 2016 at 19:35 comment added user1062760 Seems like every single answer here missed the actual point and went straight to showing off their maths skills . the question simply is that if you are far away from collapsing core of a star (say on earth) would you ever see the collapsing core form a blackhole before infinite time has passed on earth?

Nov 17, 2014 at 0:10 comment added Zo the Relativist Also note that for the Schwarzschild spacetime, the singularity is spacelike, so this answer to your question is "yes" for the case of the Kruskal extension of the Schwarzschild spacetime.

Feb 12, 2011 at 10:15 comment added Daniel Grumiller I suggest to replace "singularity" by "an intersection with an event horizon" in your rephrased question, since you want to know about black hole formation and not singularity formation. The answer is then "yes", with the Vaidya solution being the simplest example. See e.g. Fig. 4 in arxiv.org/abs/0809.2213 for its Penrose diagram.

Feb 12, 2011 at 6:48 comment added Gordon Spacelike singularities occur in uncharged nonrotating black holes. You must then distinguish between physical singularities and coordinate singularities. For example, the Schwarzchild metric has a coordinate singularity at the Schwarzchild radius that may be eliminated by a change in coordinates, but I doubt this is what you meant.
