X-ray emissions are indirect *physical* evidence, as are the gravitational effects on nearby objects and gravitational lensing on distant objects.
That indirect physical evidence tells us that there's an unseen mass. Theoretical physics tells us that mass is a black hole, to our best understanding.
Physical evidence for a dog is an observation of a dog. A coil left on your lawn is not physical evidence of a dog as that can be Minimalist's doing.
Dog shit on my lawn is evidence of a dog, X-rays are direct evidence of an X-ray source.

You think?
