The diversity of lifetimes is amazing! Particles exist for merely fractions of a second and then stars can exist for billions of years!
I have given much thought to comparing lifetimes and masses of things, and thus decided to learn more about the masses of main-sequence stars and how this relates to their lifetimes.
Below is a mathematica simulation demonstrating the manipulation of the following equation, which outputs the lifetime of a main-sequence star based on its mass :
Where t_ms= lifetime
This is a preview of the simulation and plot of Lifetime vs Mass of Main-Sequence Stars.

Very interesting isn't it?
To explore the simulation, you can download the file via the following links:

Can someone please validate my efforts and leave a comment?!! :) tyvm
This looks a lot like our homework. Thanks for the Mathematica preview. I don't have Mathematica so I can't do the simulations.
