The universe is in crisis

A group of international astronomers said that the rate of new star formation in the universe has been detected at only 1/30 of the peak, and this speed is on the decline.

In the new study, the team led by David Sobral of Leiden University (Netherlands) used telescopes in three regions of the world to deploy the most complete study of star formation. in galaxies of different distances.

The universe is facing a tragic future

The study collected a huge amount of data, 10 times the previous efforts, allowing the team to analyze the pictorial speed of stars.

The statistical results show that the rate of star production of the universe is in constant decline during the past 11 billion years, 30 times slower than the golden age of 11 billion years ago.

'You can say the universe is in serious and prolonged crisis. The output of space GDP is now only 3% of the peak ' , Space.com quoted Sobral.

If this trend continues, no more than 5% of stars will be formed in the rest of the universe's history, even if we wait desperately. The study predicted that humans would live in a universe full of old stars.

The future seems tragic, but experts say that we are actually quite fortunate to be living in a galaxy of "fertility" , an important source of contributors to how young children are for the universe, according to the report. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
