Bert, you clearly don't know just what a brown dwarf is, I'm pretty sure. Read about them here...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_dwarf

... and you will learn that brown dwarfs are simply too small to

ever become stars, they do not have enough mass to trigger fusion in
their interiors, but they do have enough mass to generate interior
heat, which is only detectable in the infrared.

Only a few of these guys have been verified, so far, not because they are rare, but because they are so hard to detect.

Thanks Paul. I should have said. "How long does it take a white dwarf
to go black". If their out there it would add to black matter. I in
fact knew a brown dwarf was a "failed star" but jumped to fast. Still
wiping the egg off my face. That was a very nice site TreBert
