Right, isn’t this what happened to Whitney Huston?
Ok, I’m sorry. I couldn’t help it.

"Because the laws of physics dictate that energy must be conserved, the rest of the star shot away from the black hole at enormous speed. "
And... that's where they lost me.

Because the laws of physics dictate that energy must be conserved, the rest of the star shot away from the black hole at enormous speed. Change a few nouns, here and there, and this is Whitney's story.
Thus the wisdom of the Bible reference to "as above, so below".

We could always just build a tether to the moon made out of dollar bills pasted end to end.
However the ‘waste’ is not in what they ‘see’, it’s in what they don’t see.

Interesting thought: this happened over a billion years ago.

Sparking a flare so brilliant that observers detected it from a distance of 2.1 billion light-years. Ok if the flare's light took 2.1 billions years to reach earth then the star has to be AT LEAST 2.1 billion years old right? THe story reports the star is only a billion years old..... Bad journalism. I'll bet he is a "warmist" too.

you’re innocently committing a fallacy by assuming it’s still there. you’re essentially looking into the past. it is likely gone by now.
