I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Anybody check on Nadler’s whereabouts lately?

To save the population of planet Earth we have to agree to fire him into the stellar object heading our way. We have no choice. His body fat will create an impact that will split the object into pieces.

Gravity waves travel the speed of light according to Einstein. Any light event should follow the same speed, or in the case of a supernova there is about a 2 hour delay. Nothing more.

This may be associated with the delivery of the House impeachment articles to the Senate and the resulting collapse of the Democratic party’s 2020 election prospects.

My guess is that Betelgeuse just exploded.

Well, if it's 'unknown', how can it be reported???

Gravitational waves from an unknown source would likely be a news story tho...
