Current theories of galaxy and star formation suggest that about one billion years passed between the Big Bang and the birth of the stars now seen as these white dwarfs, yielding a total cosmic age of nearly 14 billion years. The length of time it takes for a white dwarf to reach this state is calculated to be longer than the current age of the known universe, so it is thought that no black dwarfs yet exist.2 Sources - See all on Wikipedia
White dwarf - Wikipedia
While old white dwarfs show evidence of dust accretion, white dwarfs older than ~1 billion years or >7000 K with dusty infrared excess were not detected [174] until the discovery of LSPM J0207+3331 in 2018, which has a cooling age of ~3 billion years. See more
