You understand that by “soon” they mean 10,000 years? All these people excited to see it happen 😂 This fuckin’ channel - any day now

From our distant observational perspective that would mean It already did explode, and we just see it way afterwards.

Orion is the first constellation i learned to recognise and finding it in the sky has become a personal ritual of some sort. I'd be sad and awed to see it so irrevocably changed

If Beetlejuice went supernova today. People on Earth wouldn't see it for another 650 years.

Anthony Bahn Beyond the Veil: A Beginners Guide to the Multiverse and Parallel Universes (English Edition) Aperçu du livre What if our universe is just one of many? What if parallel realities exist alongside our own, hidden beyond the veil of our perception? In "Beyond the Veil: A Beginner's Guide to the Multiverse and Parallel Universes," embark on a mind-bending journey that takes you from the fringes of science fiction to the cutting edge of theoretical physics. Authored by the writer of the acclaimed "Reality Unplugged – Decoding the Simulation Hypothesis," this groundbreaking book demystifies the complex theories of the multiverse, making them accessible to readers of all backgrounds. With clarity and enthusiasm, it explores: The evolution of multiverse theories, from ancient philosophy to modern physics Groundbreaking scientific advancements in quantum mechanics, cosmology, and string theory that support the multiverse hypothesis Different models of the multiverse, including the Many-Worlds Interpretation and eternal inflation The profound philosophical and ethical implications of infinite parallel realities Cutting-edge research and potential future experiments to detect other universes "Beyond the Veil" is more than just a scientific exploration—it's an invitation to rethink everything you believe about existence, free will, and your place in the cosmos. Through vivid analogies, thought experiments, and clear explanations, this book brings the mind-boggling concept of multiple universes down to Earth. Whether you're a science enthusiast, a philosophy buff, or simply curious about the nature of reality, this book will expand your horizons and ignite your imagination. Prepare to have your understanding of the universe challenged and your sense of wonder reignited as you step beyond the veil and into the multiverse. Join us on this intellectual adventure that pushes the boundaries of human knowledge and asks the biggest questions of all: What is reality? Are we alone in the cosmos? And what lies beyond the universe we can see? "Beyond the Veil" is an essential read for anyone who has ever looked up at the stars and wondered, "What if?" It's time to explore a reality where the impossible just might be possible, and where our understanding of the universe is merely the beginning of something far greater. Step into the multiverse. Your adventure starts here.

Well, we'll certainly know if it does go supernova; it would be expected to be clearly visible by day for weeks, and provide enough light at night to comfortably read by. Consider that the distance if this star is estimated to be between 640 - 740 ly away, so the energy release will be amazing.

It didn't happen this morning So maybe we'll make it thru the day And that's about all I'm concerned with Tomorrow isn't guaranteed to anyone

If I could witness a relatively close supernova in my life time, I would die happy.

Andrea De Simone The Measure Problem in Eternal Inflation: Introduction and Developments Détails du livre Inflation is a paradigm for the physics of the early universe, receiving a great deal of experimental support. Essentially all inflationary models lead to a regime called eternal inflation, a situation where inflation never ends globally, but it only ends locally. The resulting picture is that of a multiverse: an infinite number of "bubbles", each of them containing an infinite universe. Extracting meaningful predictions on what physics we should expect to observe within our bubble encounters severe ambiguities. Hence the need to adopt a prescription to regulate the diverging spacetime volume of the multiverse. The problem of defining such a prescription is the measure problem, which is a major challenge of modern theoretical cosmology. This book provides an introduction to the measure problem, and proposes and explores a promising candidate solution: the scale-factor cutoff measure. This book is intendend for experts of the field as well as for graduate students willing to be initiated to this fascinating subject.

It has several stages to hit BEFORE it supernovas. On a geological timescale it's very near its end but it won't explode for tens of thousands of years.

Excited… like most. However I will not become old enough to actually see it als stellar events take millennia to prepare…

Betelgeuse is 700 light-years away, so even if it has already exploaded less than ≈600 years ago, we hve no chance to see the event...

It could've already exploded. Light takes a long time to reach us.

Sergei Winitzki Eternal Inflation Aperçu du livre This volume is the only monograph covering the exciting and dazzling recent developments in quantum cosmology, including the theory of the multiverse and eternal inflation pioneered by A Vilenkin, A Linde, S W Hawking, and others. Written by a leading expert in the field known for his depth and clarity of presentation, the volume presents an overview of 20 years of development of the theory of eternal inflation as well as a comprehensive, research-level introduction into the current methods and problems. This volume is invaluable for researchers as a definitive reference in the rapidly developing field. Written in a self-contained manner with detailed mathematical derivations of the results, graduate students will also find it a readable and useful textbook for self-study.

The people excited will be waiting for a very long time. Crazy so many people don't understand how light works on a space channel.
