So the blast from the thermonuclear explosion could strip away our ozone layer that keeps out deadly space radiation. Life on Earth would then be frazzled. By God, as long as there is a penny of wealth left to transfer we WILL be safe from this calamity, I just know it!

BS, unless one of the poles are aimed at us, 500 light years is enough distance to be safe from a supernova

It’s Bush’s fault or maybe Rush Limbaugh’s.

I guess that would put the health care bill and the falling dollar in perspective!

I guess we don’t need to worry about conservation or climate change then, do we?

I’d feel better if you can elaborate on that. I know certain blasts aim the explosion along a narrow plane, but not all?

So, about 3300 LY away. Assuming a particle stream traveling at somewhat less than the speed of light as the primary destructive agent (if there are any), that gives us a few thousand years to come up with something. So, any ideas? Some kind of Dyson Sphere surrounding the Earth, or significant parts thereof? Maybe a magnetic deflector field to shunt those particles off to the side? I’m sure the techie-trekkies among us can come up with something.

Well, that firms my decision up. I am leaving no full beers in the fridge tonight. Just in case.

How will we all sleep at night? Obama, start a government program to study and stop this -— now! Massive tax hikes are need this year, preferably retroactive for the last twenty years to help solve this Interstellar Global Nova Threat crisis! God Save Us All!

Maybe what a Dyson Sphere should look like?
Might have to give Lucas or someone else some credit here?
