All the energy in the universe was created in the Big bang that created the cosmos with some of it locked up as mass.
Stars shine by converting their mass into energy, as described by Albert Einstein's famous equation E=MC squared.
However, this energy-making process is steadily in diminishing. Professor Driver said:''While most of the energy sloshing around was created in the aftermath of the Big bang,
additional energy is constantly being released by stars as they fuse elements like hydrogen and helium together.'
