Story summary
- David Kipping analyzes the red sky paradox in a study available on arXiv.
- M-dwarfs account for 60-70% of stars.
- Kipping presents two theories to explain the paradox: M-dwarfs do not produce observers, or the time window for observers is limited.
- He concludes that low-mass stars are unlikely to develop intelligent life.
- This would make the universe potentially desolate for observers.
