The discussion centers on the correlation between the accretion rate onto a white dwarf (WD) and time, with the initial poster suggesting that the accretion rate should decrease over time. Participants clarify the abbreviation "WD" and inquire whether the question is for homework or general interest, indicating a willingness to move the discussion to a more appropriate forum. The poster confirms their curiosity is not related to homework and expresses a desire for further exploration of the topic. There is a request for links to relevant reading materials to support the inquiry. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between accretion rates and time in astrophysics.
