We aim to carry out an assessment of the scientific value of Oppenheimer's research on black holes in order to determine and weigh possible factors to explain its neglect by the scientific community, and even by Oppenheimer himself. Dealing primarily with the science and looking closely at the scientific culture and the scientific conceptual belief system of the 1930s, the present article seeks to supplement the existent literature on the subject by enriching the explanations and possibly complicating the guiding questions. We suggest a rereading of Oppenheimer as a more intriguing, ahead-of-his-time figure.

    Maximizing entropy at fixed mass-energy and particle number in general relativity yields the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations and the Tolman-Klein relations for a Fermi gas, for any convex form of entropy.
