Résumé
In this paper, we prove that a self-avoiding walk of infinite length provides a structure that would resolve Olbers' paradox. That is, if the stars of a universe were distributed like the vertices of an infinite random walk with each segment length of about a parsec, then the night sky could be as dark as actually observed on the Earth. Self-avoiding random walk structure can therefore resolve the Olbers' paradox even in a static universe.
