Spencer Ball asked: Are they able to determine reasonably precisely when the red dwarfs in our galaxy were born? According to Tolkein's Silmarillion, first came the elves, then came the dwarfs, then came men. In his later histories we learn that somewhere in there came the hobbits. The Orcs were corruptions of some or all of the foregoing. I hope that answers the question. Raeburn Kennard
