$\begingroup$ Thanks for this thorough yet very readable answer, I think that it provides a really helpful overview of the "landscape" of black hole theory to the uninitiated. $\endgroup$– uhohCommented Aug 7, 2021 at 23:29

1$\begingroup$ But I think that Fermat's last theorem may have been called that because Fermat suggested it was proved, rather than because mathematicians decided to start referring to conjectures as theorems. However also see HSM SE's The first of Fermat's last theorem and What evidence is there that Fermat had a proof for his Last Theorem? and Was Fermat's last theorem ever a Conjecture? $\endgroup$– uhohCommented Aug 7, 2021 at 23:41

1$\begingroup$ My pleasure! Regarding Fermat's last theorem, I merely stated the observation that "Fermat's theorem was called such long before it was proven rigorously mathematically" and I did not intend on claiming that was solely due to misnaming y mathematicians whose opinions are varied . For example, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… $\endgroup$– Daddy KropotkinCommented Aug 8, 2021 at 0:00

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. observational-astronomy), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
