This is PHYSICS, not math or logic, and "proof" is completely irrelevant.

Among astrophysicists and astronomers, the existence of black holes is
indeed commonly accepted. But not universally, I believe.

The reason for this is the striking similarity of numerous measurements
on dozens of objects to the predictions of models treating them as black
holes. Plus the fact that nobody has come up with another model that
describes the data equally well.
