Human population 5.5 billion.

Planet population 100 billion x 100 billion.

Extrapolating census data, the human population is growing one billion every twelve years.

Scientists agree the universe is expanding. Some think it may contract someday back to where it began. Some think it will expand forever.

Like people, stars are born, die, yet their population increases. Our sun is an average star, life span ten billion years (half gone now). From interstellar gas and dust to interstellar gas and dust.

Growth shows the same characteristics no matter what is growing: plant, cancer, population: the more growth that has occurred, the faster more growth occurs. The star population had a head start.
