The blast creates huge shockwaves around the star and the process may be responsible for sprinkling the universe with water.
And it could go on for a thousand years in each star.
Let's run the math on this one.
Flow of water through the Amazon = 219,000 m3 / second.
219,000 m3/sec * (100 cm / 1 m)3 =
219,000,000,000 cubic centimeters/sec
=219,000,000,000 ml /second * 1g/ml = 219,000,000,000 g /second
For 1000 years is
1000 year *(365 days /year) * (24 hr / day) * (3600 s /hr)
=31,536,000,000 seconds.
Multiply the two together 2.19 x 1011 * (3.15 x 1010) =~ 6.9 x 1021 grams.
Convert to tons: 1 gram * (1 lb/454 g) * (1 ton / 2000 lb). 6.9 x 1020 / 9.08 x 105 --> 7.6 x 1015 tons of water.
7,600,000,000,000,000 = 7.6 quadrillion tons.
By comparison Lake Superior is 12,100 km3
1 km3 * (1000 m /1 km)3 * (100 cm / 1 m)3* (1 ml / 1 cm3) * (1g /ml) * (1 lb/454 g) * (1 ton / 2000 lb) =
13,325,991,189,427
So I guess 500 x the water in Lake Superior?
