How about you do? You're not up to date. Primordial black holes are believed to have formed very soon after the big bang but not from stars (they wouldn't have time to form and collapse). Many primordial black holes are believed to have the mass of a planet and the size of a fruit. Tell me more about how planet sized stars exist or implode please.

Primordial black holes are theoretical.

Black holes formed way earlier than they had any right to do if stellar are not.

I mean, okay? You act like you didn't fully read my post two posts up.

Idk what you're trying to get at anyway. You act like there's some huge mystery going on. There's not.

We know how black holes form. We know how planets form. We know how solar systems function. That doesn't mean we don't find outliers among all realms of things we understand that challenge the assumptions we generally make and further deepen our understandings of them. It also doesn't mean black holes are some wild mystery out of a science fiction movie that are portals to other dimensions that jump started out universe or some happy horse shit.

I already, two posts up, gave you a different explanation how older black holes form, that differs from how your typical ones form, and you just breezed right by it on your search for the supernatural or whatever.

I breezed over it because it's not an accepted explanation according to actual astrophycisists lol.

You mean like direct collapse black holes?
