Supernova theory explodes...

Heh, oopsies. I bet no one here has any idea why this could have happened... ;)

It's obvious, just like the comments on the page said... Aliens shot another star at it and caused it to explode as they merged.

You'd think if two stars were merging or colliding, there would be "warning flashes" of radiation as the orbit decayed. Instead, this seems to be a "random" explosion.

I'm also confused by something a commenter pointed out: "the doomed star, about 100 times our sun's mass [...] only a small part of the star's mass was flung off in the explosion. Most of the material, says Gal-Yam, was drawn into the collapsing core that has probably become a black hole estimated to be at least 10 to 15 solar masses."

...what?

Clearly, understanding elementary arithmetic is not required when expounding the standard model.
Truth extends beyond the border of self-limiting science. Free discourse among opposing viewpoints draws the open-minded away from the darkness of inevitable bias and nearer to the light of universal reality.

A massive star a million times brighter than our sun exploded way too early in its life, suggesting scientists don't understand stellar evolution as well as they thought.
OH? :shock:

Lets see. If we take into consideration that the same response was offered in regard to V838 Monocerotis and its unexpected "sudden outburst" seven years ago - one has to wonder how long its going to take for these guys to answer the Clue Phone.

It's still ringing :!:
"Our laws of force tend to be applied in the Newtonian sense in that for every action there is an equal reaction, and yet, in the real world, where many-body gravitational effects or electrodynamic actions prevail, we do not have every action paired with an equal reaction." — Harold Aspden
