QuoteBrown dwarfs are strange celestial objects. They're not stars, they're not planets, yet they exhibit characteristics of both. And now astronomers using NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) have discovered the coolest of a cool class of brown dwarfs, potentially providing some answers as to what makes a planet and what makes a star...
Another scientific prediction is confirmed. These objects will be some of the longest lived in the Universe and could well be considered immortal.
Oooh, that's super interesting. In other news, brown dwarfs are now gods. XD
If the core is still warm, maybe it can be hollowed out into a small Dyson Sphere (small in this case still being kind of big).
A black hole would, if encountered, put a somewhat negative spin on the immortality though... :-\

Quite so.
But it's not brown - it's purple. ???
