Wrong super nova
Posted on 03/23/2017 5:44:02 AM PDT by C19fan
Every star will someday run out of fuel in its core, bringing an end to its run as natural source of nuclear fusion in the Universe. While stars like our Sun will fuse hydrogen into helium and then -- swelling into a red giant -- helium into carbon, there are other, more massive stars which can achieve hot enough temperatures to further fuse carbon into even heavier elements. Under those intense conditions, the star will swell into a red supergiant, destined for an eventual supernova after around 100,000 years or so. And the brightest red supergiant in our entire night sky? That's Betelgeuse, which could go supernova at any time.

Wrong super nova
We know this?

Its really BIG. Takes a quite a while for light, 1.5 hours, to travel from one side to the other, inside the star.

I had a 68 creme colored Nova back in the day. It was a good car.
Given those numbers, by my calculations, if we see the explosion tomorrow. We have 5782.5 years until any debris hits our solar system.
Maybe “we” is the wrong word.
True for the debris, but we won't have to wait for the gamma rays.
Global warming at fault here.
For a movie for kids just past the halfway point he exploded the F bomb. Yeah, a movie for kids.
What next? Gay themed movies for kids? OH WAIT!
Something like that. It is estimated that today’s quasar Geminga was created about 300,000 years ago because it is at the center of “the bubble”, a cloud of interstellar dust particles. Our solar system is inside the bubble, which means that the debris wave from Geminga has already passed us.

Isn't everything?
If it happens now we’ll never see it. If it’s already happened maybe we will- eventually.
You can’t have your “old universe and eat it too!
If the earth is some 5.4 billion years old, then I am sure some close by star has gone super nova sometime since the accidental “because it had to come into existence” universe just “happened” out of nothing ( I have young grandchildren who tell me “ it just happened”).
On the other hand, if the creation is some 10,000 or so years old and AND modern “science” (body of knowledge) is accurate, then we really don’t have to worry about Betelgeuse going hot for another 90,000 or so years.
Don’t you get it yet?
Maybe a rerun of “Horton Hears a Who” is appropriate for you “settled science” ( the biggest misnomer ever concocted by depraved man, BTW).
“And Elohim said, “Light, Be; and Light was” Genesis 1:3
Once again, the ancients recognized the need for a primary actor and a first cause for logical, rational understanding of anything in our scope of awareness. Modern theoretical physicists etc rely on the absolute absurd to explain what a child innately knows- someone had to act for anything to move.
Explaining the creation is easy compared to answering a 5 year old’s inquiry into “but Papa, where did God get His power and where did He come from?”
At some point in the equation, understanding that we cannot understand facts outside our own consciousness is the basis of saving faith. But if we accept that the Creator is OUTSIDE of His creation, it becomes rational and logical.
It still takes more faith to believe modern consensus on origins than it does to believe that there is a Creator, a loving one who cares about every person He created....
We’d better find out how to pronounce Betelgeuse before then.
Wouldn’t the size of an object that block’s Betelgeuse’s emissions from the earth be tiny, because it is so far away? It is a dot in our sky, what if we could place a basketball sized object in space at the exact distance where it blocks the star completely, and keep it in position there? Would something like that be possible?
One of the problems, as I understand it, is that some of the debris gets captured by our sun’s gravity and creates a “long period” comet. The comet then goes way out to the Ort cloud and , many years later, returns. The fact that it keeps making passes ups the chances of getting hit.

The idea is to use a nuke.
