Olbers's paradox is a conceptual puzzle concerning the visibility of stars in the universe, originally formulated in the 19th century by the German astronomer Heinrich Wilhelm Olbers. The paradox addresses the question: If the universe is infinite, static, and populated uniformly with stars, why is the night sky dark?
