  17. Quasars are spiralling matters which are the brightest object when the matters swirling around the black hole are torn apart.
  18. Stars in our universe are expected to be 14-18 billion years old. But the universe itself is younger than that. So it is thought that either star are younger than this or the universe is older than its calculated age.
