'Inexplicable entity' from 13 billion years ago appears
Barbenheimer is a dead entity that is completely inconsistent with humanity's understanding of the universe.
A team of scientists from 34 research institutions in the US, Germany, Australia, UK, Hungary, Spain, Canada and China specifically named J0931+0038 Barbenheimer and called it an "unexplained entity", because of the shocking revelations from the new observations.
The name Barbenheimer is a reference to two contrasting films, "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer," released last year, according to Live Science.

Barbenheimer, originally named J0931+0038, was once considered a normal red giant star.
It was first discovered in 1999 as part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), one of the most detailed international astronomical databases.
In the new study, the SDSS telescope located in New Mexico, USA was aimed directly at Barbenheimer. Another powerful telescope, the Giant Magellan telescope located in Chile, also "joined the fight".
New spectroscopic data reveals that Barbenheimer has an extremely exotic chemical or metallic composition , with unusually high concentrations of heavy elements , including ones never produced on Earth.
That is what makes Barbenheimer an inexplicable entity.
13 billion years ago, it stopped being a red giant and exploded into a supernova. That's when it released the strange stuff scientists are just now catching on to.
Due to the delay of light, what we observe from Barbenheimer is the image of it at 13 billion years ago, when the universe was only a few hundred million years after the Big Bang that created the universe.
The metallicity of this "dead" entity is strange for three reasons:
- First , it has unusually low levels of light elements such as magnesium, sodium, and aluminum.
- Second , the average element is unusually high, such as iron, nickel and zinc.
- Third , and most strangely, it has an excess of extremely heavy elements like strontium and palladium, as well as other things heavier than anything ever created on Earth.
"We see these features sometimes, but never in the same star," said co-author Jennifer Johnson from Ohio State University.
Because it makes no sense that there should be so many heavy elements. Heavy elements must have been formed from lighter elements. There are too few light elements to do that.
Even more absurd , the Barbenheimer entity is over 13 billion years old.
It was a time when all cosmological models indicated that the young universe was still very chemically monotonous.
According to the basic theory, each generation of stars would forge new, heavier elements from lighter elements inside its core, then explode and release the new elements into the surroundings. The next generation of stars would continue the journey, making the universe increasingly rich in heavier elements.
So this mysterious entity should be of the future, not of the past.
It is a completely unsolved puzzle, one that scientists can only hope to find clues to through identifying similar ancient entities.
