Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Cosmic Rays!
Thanks BenLurkin. It's been quite a haul for the Catastrophism list.

Answer: 54 billion years.
Sneaky! The old trick question with superfluous information. But you were caught!
This is old news. This supernova actually happened about a billion years ago.
Made me laugh. :)
I went out with a girl like that.
Interesting analogy. I wouldn’t have thought of it.
Fusion reactors on Earth require creating supernova conditions. Is that really a good idea? Instead of meltdowns we might have to worry about whole mountains exploding into the sky.
Fusion reactors on Earth require creating supernova conditions.
Our sun operates at 15 million degrees Kelvin. Fusion reactors try for 100 million Kelvin. Are you comfortable with politically driven big government projects playing with supernova conditions?
No, the conditions that produce a supernova are far more extreme than what’s needed for fusion. There is a connected between the two processes, though. It’s the energy from fusion that prevents a supernova from occurring in a star. It’s only after fusion has run its course that the core finally collapses to atomic nucleus density, triggering the supernova. The energy release is also far greater, up to 10% matter to energy conversion, as opposed to only 0.7% in hydrogen fusion.
Everything can be explained by global warming.
Uh, no. They exist. They have been observed. The part you can question is the theory explaining why supernovae happen.
Dark matter?
Anybody else who had to invent dark matter and dark energy (and maybe even Steven Hawkins) might suspect that there is something seriously wrong with their Big Bang fantasy.
And lets NOT forget inflation either.
I expect the James Webb space telescope is going to cause some self proclaimed geniuses to need safe rooms and serious counseling...
What?!
I thought the title was about Jennifer Lawrence destroyed by fame.....
Get over it. It happened a very long time ago. ;-D
