Supernova Candidates
Searching for the star
The entire study was done with the ultimate aim which is to understand whether we find ourselves in the last Biblical times or not. I have always been interested in science and especially astronomy and so I partly “had fun” in my research.
But after all this, one question remained: will a supernova explode in these times? It will be the supernova that will bring the destruction that Jesus talks about in the chapter. 24 of Matthew and hundreds of other Biblical passages?
Unfortunately it is a question that seems impossible to find an answer to. “Official” science says that the life of stars is billions of years, that of massive stars which are candidates for supernovae is less, but we are still talking about millions and millions of years.
Furthermore, there are various types of supernovae and the mechanism is not yet 100% understood. In fact, many times I would have liked to finish all my studies. Only prayer helped me continue.
Below is a list taken from Wikipedia of the supernovae candidates to explode soon as a supernova. I added a column with notes for each star.
IK Pegasi:
Constellation: Pegasus, Distance: 154 ly, Class A8m:/DA
Main star not yet red giant. It will take millennia.
Spica:
Constellation: Pegasus, Distance: 250 ly, Class B1
Two giant stars that rotate with a period of approximately 4 days. However, scientists say the main star has just “exited” the main sequence and it will take millions of years before it becomes a supernova.
Bellatrix:
Constellation: Orion, Distance: 250 ly, Class B2
Mass 7.7 times that of the Sun but has not yet consumed the hydrogen to become a red giant.
Mimosa:
Constellation: Crux (Cross), Distance: 250 ly, Class B2
Mass 7.7 times that of the Sun but has not yet consumed the hydrogen to become a red giant.
Betelgeuse:
Constellation: Orion, Distance: 408 ly, Class M2
Red giant, that is, a star that could explode as a supernova but the astronomers themselves “expect” the explosion in 100,000 years.
Antares:
Constellation: Scorpius, Distance: 554 ly, Class M1
Red giant, mass 11 times the Sun. Candidate as well as Betelgeuse. But astronomers say it will be between 1 and 1.4 million years.
Gamma2 Velorum:
Constellation: Vela, Distance: 1120 ly, Class O7
A blue supergiant of 30 solar masses and a red one of 9 solar masses. High probability for the red star
I have not included all the blue stars because the mechanism of the explosion is not well known but it has been established that they rarely explode. Then I did not include all stars more distant than 1500 ly or so because they are probably not lethal to humans on earth.
Based on this Wikipedia list it would seem that the chances of one of these stars exploding as a supernova these days are virtually nil. At this point, simple logical reasoning makes us understand that something is wrong. I explain it in the next paragraph.
Paradox of predicting the number of supernovae in the galaxy
If the stars listed above as possible candidates for becoming supernovae have such a low probability of exploding, then, taking these probabilities into account, in the galaxy, or even in the area of the galaxy where the solar system is located, not so many supernovae should have exploded . So there's something wrong, probably in the mechanism that precedes the explosion that scientists think they've found that causes the star to explode.
In practice in a radius from the Sun of 10000 ly and with an average of 0.12 stars per cubic light year (i.e. with an average distance of 4 ly), if we assume 40 candidates and an average explosion from today of 1 million years (by default) there would be a paltry average of 0.47 supernovae every 1000 years while there are around 30 every 1000 years. In fact, 1 million years is by default, where instead the average probability of explosion of the stars proposed as candidates goes well beyond those years. However, I remember that the number of supernovae in our Milky Way has been calculated at approximately 3 every 100 years or 30 per millennium.
Probably periods given by astronomers do not reflect much reality of the facts in the Galaxy. But thanks to Someone I found a solution there is and it is much simpler and reflects the reality of what we see in the Galaxy.
Supernova explosion prediction method
It seemed impossible to understand in advance how a supernova explodes, or at least to fully understand the mechanism that causes it to explode in order to then be able to predict and calculate when it will happen.
I have to tell the truth, I think I found it and not by myself, it's so simple that we have it right before our eyes.
However, I have decided not to disclose all this information too much, as I have already described from the first pages. I want to avoid having touchy, envious and argumentative people waste my time.
If possible, for those who don't believe what I'm writing, here, please, go to whoever you want. Controversy never leads to anything.
However, if anyone interested makes comments, even negative ones, but reasoned ones, they are welcome. With these people I can share my studies and discoveries because their spirit is constructive.
So here, in order to read the rest, not only of how supernovas explode and where we need to start, but also of the studies on Betelgeuse and Antares which lead to quite sensational results, you have to make “constructive” comments. I'm not looking for the mega scientist who gives me mega equations, but the normal person who looks at the sky and the stars with his heart.
