But are there other ways in which black holes are formed in nature, besides the the core of a big star collapsing after a supernova?

Blackholes are formed when a massive star dies and its core collapses under its own gravity. This causes an intense gravitational pull that becomes so strong that even light cannot escape, creating a blackhole.
No, blackholes can also be formed through other processes such as the collision of two neutron stars or the merging of two smaller blackholes. These events are known as gravitational wave events.
Yes, blackholes can also be formed from the collapse of large clouds of gas and dust, known as primordial blackholes. These blackholes are thought to have formed shortly after the Big Bang.
Some scientists have proposed alternative theories such as the collapse of cosmic strings or the collapse of a bubble of false vacuum. However, these theories are still highly debated and not widely accepted.
No, blackholes cannot be formed artificially by humans. The conditions required for the formation of a blackhole are extremely rare and can only occur in natural phenomena, such as the collapse of massive stars.
