Einstein: My theory predicts that there could be a hole in reality that we could never observe from the outside, but that's ridiculous. It can't exist.

Oppenheimer: I guess these holes could form in our universe when a heavy star runs out of fuel, but I doubt this means anything real.

Wheeler: Wait a sec...

He named them black holes and pushed for research into them. He also didn't believe they could exist at first.
