In some binary systems, the less-massive star has become a giant, while the more-massive star is still on the main sequence. If higher-mass stars evolve faster than lower-mass stars, how do the lower-mass stars in such binaries manage to leave the main sequence first? This is called the Algol paradox, after the binary system Algol.
