A NASA image of the debris of an exploded star, known as supernova taken from
NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory. Astronomers who have long used supernovas as cosmic mile markers
to help measure the expansion of the universe now have an answer to the nagging question
of what sparks the massive stellar explosions. (AFP/NASA/File)

"Our results suggest the supernovae in the galaxies we studied almost all come from two white dwarfs merging,"

Blaming cataclysmic events in this way is racist and height-insensitive....

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!

I thought they were caused by global warming, but maybe I’m confusing them with black holes.

This is just more proof that SUV’s are killing the polar bears.
