How near? There are no stars near Earth.

I’ve watched several of his videos over the years. Several I’ve found very thought provoking, like his ones on the speed of electricity.

Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.

The nearest non Sun star is Alpha Centauri (it’s a trinary) and 4.3 light years out. If it “blew up”, we’re in trouble.
There are, within 50 light years of Earth, about 971 stars. That’s pretty close as such things work. If any of them blow up, we’re in trouble.
There are 100,000 stars within 100 light years of Earth. The odds start to get ugly at that distance. Meaning, the odds of one of them going nova.
