According to general relativity, if a remote observer monitors an object falling onto a black hole, (s)he will never see the moment when the object crosses the event horizon. Due to the time distortion, the falling object will hover over the event horizon forever.
With that in mind, how could the black hole have formed in the first place, in the frame of reference of the remote observer? Wouldn't it take an infinite amount of time for it to form?
