We have that power.

And we're starting to see these pseudo stars that are formed around black holes.

They're about a million times the mass of the sun, relatively small.

I mean, these things may become the seeds of the big black holes that are in the centers of all galaxies.

We're starting to see that forming now.

And my question, I mean, I was a stellar astrophysicist.

I was a stellar astrophysicist.

I studied stars.

That was my thing.

Not outstanding, but that's what I studied.

And I would love to see what one of the first generation stars looks like.

Because my guess is it's going to look totally different.

That the universe was more dense back then.

There was more dark matter prevalent.

I mean, dark matter has gravity.

That's going to get sucked into the formation of a star just from gravity too.

What was that first generation of stars like?

My guess is they're going to be huge, many, many times the mass of the sun, many, many times bigger than the most massive stars we have today.

And I'm wondering if they're going to work really differently because there's more dark matter.

Okay.
