Why isn't the universe saturated with black holes?
After the big bang and the first stars began to form, they were super massive. They also had super short lives, so you would figure there would be black holes everywhere after an epoch like that.
But when we look out there, we don't find evidence of much, just a few here or there.
Why is that?

What do you think are galactic cores, my melanin enriched friend?

That's one hypothesis for dark matter:

MACHOS are becoming more favorable because we've failed to detect WIMPS

According to Stellar Evolution the star would have to be a certain amount of solar masses large for it to become a black hole as it could also become a neutron star depending on it's mass. If I remember correctly they have to be atleast 5 times the size of our sun to go hypernova. Most other stars simply went supernova which would explain the amount of supernova nucleosythesis that would have to had occured to generate new atomic nuclei which fairly large atomic numbers.
