Re: RE; You are uninformed
Doesn't a star enter a red dwarf stage near the end of its billions-of-years life?
Nope. Stars with, say, half the Sun's mass or less are born as "red dwarfs" - spectral class K or M stars - and stay that way for a very, very long time. Back when I first learned astronomy, the idea that stars evolved to red dwarfs was still around - you may have read the same books I did.
