More Gas Shortages

Universe Has Used Up a Fifth of Its Gas Tank
August 18th, 2006

Since the Big Bang, 13.7 billion years ago, the Universe has converted 20% of its original matter into stars. This is according to a new survey by an international team of astronomers. Other than stars, a tiny fraction of non-primordial material is dust expelled from massive stars and supermassive black holes. The survey was made using the Millennium Galaxy Catalogue, which contains more than 10,000 large galaxies. It looks like the Universe will need another 70 billion years to use up all its original fuel.

Looks like We could be fighting for gas reserves with our ET neighbours at the rate the Universe is using it.
