When will it have already happened so we can watch?

Sorry to disappoint but what we're seeing "today" happened 8,000 years ago.

If it blew up yesterday or tomorrow and the debris & cosmic rays traveled at the speed of light (Highly unlikely - trust me ;-) it wouldn't get here for 8,000 years.

Relax. Worry more about HRC being elected president in 2020 even if she's encased in a glass coffin.
