sometimes I think it’s necessary to keep a few people, including young women, of cause, in space. Maybe they can land after a planet crash and start producing new people again

it will be inpossible to send a nuke to a star so far away. the reason for this is because the original plan for defence of the earth from asteroids is to nuke the incimng asteroid but the main reason why this wouldn’t work even if it was a little as 100,000miles incoming the nuke wouldn’t have enough fuel to get to the star. And also, the nuke would have to be about the size of our earth to destroy a sypermassive star.

To Mr. john: The black hole has a spinning momentum related to the rotation of the star which originated it. I think that a theoretical black hole with a zero angular momentum would not produce the GRB jets but rather it would spread out the GRB in a spherical 3D pattern..

Mr. john Says: The “path” oriented thorough the two mutually opposed axis are created by the “last” minute dynamical deformation of space-time due to the formation of a black hole. That “path” is the only “corridor” left for the gamma ray to scape from the black hole field of attraction just before the singularity forms, or just out of the horizon of events, I think…Please correct me who know a better explanation..
