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.
In many binary stars, there can be a flow of material between the two stars, disturbing the normal process of stellar evolution. As the flow progresses, the evolutionary stage of the stars will advance, even as the relative masses change. Eventually, the originally more massive star will reach the next stage in its evolution despite having lost much of its mass to its companion.
Algol has been visible in the night sky for over 300 million years. It would have been seen by the first creatures who looked up into the night sky. So no one can be said to have discovered Algol.
Sirius is larger than Algol. Sirius is a binary star system with Sirius A being the larger star with about twice the mass of the Sun, while Algol is a triple star system with the main star being smaller than Sirius A.
Algol or the Demon star is a star in the constellation Perseus.It has an apparent magnitude (as seen from Earth) of 2.12 or an absolute magnitude of -0.15.See related link for more information.
Some of the stars in the constellation Perseus include Algol, Mirfak, and Atik.
fermi paradox is very confusing. We can not explain that Paradox.

The paradox of value is also referred to as diamond-water paradox. It explains that although water is more useful, diamonds command a higher price.
