if the sun stops creating new matter after iron, the point in which fusion stops, how do we have heavier matter naturally occurring in nature?

Already happened before and it wasn't a big deal so stop talking about it.

but all fusion stops after iron. How does the prevalence of everything after iron on the periodic table make sense in a reality of suns living 4-5 billion years in a 15-20 billion y/o universe?

Before this era of the universe stars were much larger than the Sun on average. This meant star died sooner and produced heavier elements in their explosions. What's really confusing is where the fuck did supermassive black holes come from? There was never a period where it was favorable for blackholes that large to form but they're common anyways.

Every night it turns off. If it was off 24/7, we wouldn't have to work anymore because we'd be asleep the whole time.

Wouldn’t they have formed when the universe was just dense matter?

but the point still remains, a star cannot go beyond iron in the fusion process. Regardless of size. In regards to supermassive black holes, I would imagine there is little discernible difference to a cluster of black holes and a single "supermassive" one. Considering the singularity of a black hole could be right next to another one and we would never know the difference

>>50185411
One possibility Is we can't detect most black holes and most matter is part of them. No one knows for sure.

During the death of a massive star it starts to collapse because a large portion of energy is being absorbed by the creation of iron, causing gravity to overpower the explosive force of fusion. In this collapse potential energy is converted to heat which fuses iron into heavier elements. This causes the outwards force of fusion to massively overpower gravity leading to a huge explosion.

but what is the outside limit of matter created in such a scenario? And given the short half-life of elements like uranium why are they so prevalent on our planet?

Honestly I am not sure. I learn about this stuff in my spare time playing kerbal space program so my knowledge is not deep enough to do a calculation like that. There are tons and tons of stars though, so I assume even elements with relatively short half-lifes like uranium were created in such huge amounts that even today we have a lot of it.

Mankind would just send colonists to the closest star system and start over. Proxima Centauri has a planet in the habitable zone.
