Wonder how they calculated the "average" temperature. Was it weighted by mass or by volume?

Only mass-weighting really makes sense here imo

Wouldn't that be just star and not star?

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No - it'd mostly be dark matter vs not dark matter.

I'm still on the "dark matter isn't real" train. It would be so unsatisfying if it was the answer.

Dark mind is definitely real though

Doesn't matter, it's just the eventual temperature of a black body kept in deep space
