Not Yet for Us: the Nascent Black Hole
Martin Hill

TL;DR
This paper advocates for modeling black holes as 'nascent' entities from the perspective of remote observers, emphasizing the importance of this approach for understanding phenomena like Hawking radiation and information paradoxes.
Contribution
It re-establishes the concept of a 'nascent black hole' using Schwarzschild metrics, highlighting its significance for remote observation and quantum effects.
Findings
Nascent black holes differ from traditional models in observational implications.
The approach clarifies the conditions under which Hawking radiation can be observed.
It demonstrates the importance of the observer's frame in black hole modeling.
Abstract
In the second half of the last century the "frozen star" or "collapsed star" models of black hole formation were largely abandoned. The result is that later models appear to either assume that black hole event horizons already exist (such as in Hawking's 1975 paper on radiation from black holes), bypass the relative frames altogether (such as in Mirabel's 2017 paper on the formation of stellar black holes), or use coordinate systems that essentially ignore the remote viewer's point of view (Kruskal 1960). This paper attempts to re-establish the concept of a "nascent black hole" as the correct approach for modelling black holes from remote reference frames. It uses, and only needs to use, Schwarzschild metrics and presents some example scenarios to demonstrate the concepts through worked examples. Alternatives such as Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates and Penrose's local collapsing…
