"There's no more hydrogen being created and the hydrogen was all created during the Big Bang." All the matter in the universe, including much needed hydrogen, is thought to have come from the Big Bang event. The Big Bang explosion is widely thought to have happened 13.8 billion years ago. However, a limited amount of hydrogen isn't the only thing thought to be slowing star formation. Dr. Thaller continued: "Galaxy interactions and collisions seem to drive star formation." She went onto explain that as the universe is expanding, galaxies are growing further apart. That means less chances to interact and create new stars. Dr. Thaller explained: "Galaxies billions of years ago had much much more interaction because the universe was smaller and now it's getting bigger and they don't interact as much, that's why star formation is slowing down." One theory suggests that as stars die out, black holes will begin to dominate the universe. According to the Astronomy website , about 1 quadrillion to 1 duodecillion years after the Big Bang, the universe may enter a stage called the Degenerate Era. This is predicted to be a time when black holes thrive and the universe grows cold and dark. Evenutally, as this timeline continues, the universe and the matter we understand now would cease to exist. Dr.){kind=link}
