Supernovas create a lot of heavy metals and here we have a remnant of a supernova hurtling through space. Whatever rocky worlds or debris that orbit it are likely to have much more metals than Earth does.

If We can never reach the speed of light, how does light do it?....................

A photon (light "particle") has zero mass.

If it has ‘Zero Mass’ at the speed of light, how much does it have when standing still?..............

Perhaps an advanced species has decided the Milky Way is to stupid for them to tolerate any longer.

Nice to see that he's keeping busy, now that the Deity gig is done — of course, you would expect his discovery to be a fast-mover…

Like the Catholics who were locked down from attending services by Dem governors. No mass allowed.

An excellent question. Turns out just about everything we touch depends on vibrations that move at the speed of light. That is why Quantum mechanics seems so strange, because everything is both a particle and a wave. We can't travel faster than the very waves of which everything is made.

Indeed. Strange role for Kiefer Sutherland. I basically had to fast-forward to the action part. Kind of like in Titanic.
