Obviously, we don't want one of those.  There's a flip side to it. In studying stars like our Sun, we've found that they go through periods of diminishment, when their total amount of energy that's expelled from them goes down by maybe one percent.
Évidemment, nous ne voulons pas l'une d'elles.  Il y a un revers à cela -- en étudiant des étoiles comme notre Soleil, nous avons trouvé qu'elles traversent des périodes de diminution, quand l'énergie totale expulsée diminue de, disons 1%.
