Our knowledge of black holes is incomplete. We know there are stellar mass black holes that are created when massive stars collapse on themselves at the end of their lives of fusion.

The fact that there are two other hypothetical types of black holes that may or may not exist—primordial black holes and intermediate mass black holes—illustrates how our understanding is lacking.
