The biggest bang of all

KABOOM indeed! In a cascade of superlatives, astronomers reported that they have seen the brightest and most powerful stellar explosion ever recorded.
The cataclysm - a monster more than 100 times as energetic as the typical supernova in which the more massive stars end their lives - may be an example, they said, of a completely new type of explosion.

Such a blast, proposed but never seen, would explain how the earliest and most massive stars in the universe ended their lives and strewed new elements across space to fertilise future stars and planets.

"It is quite possibly the most massive star that has ever been seen to explode," said Nathan Smith of the University of California, Berkeley, who estimated it as "freakishly massive", about 150 times the mass of the sun.

The star was discovered in a galaxy 240 million light years away in the constellation Perseus.

In a normal supernova, the core of a star collapses and forms either a neutron star or a black hole, with some heavy elements blown into space. But this supernova appears to be the result of the core not collapsing but being obliterated in an explosion blasting all its material into space.

Lets try this wayout hypothesis on for size.
Leave your doubts and aspersions under the mat and enter the home of my mind...

What if...
we are right now no longer on the Earth that has been our home for millenia
we have left our 3D world and are already on the 5D planet that we are evolving to
but in reality are here already, just consciously not aware of this
and what the scientists observed was in reality our own planet evolving into a supernova in the future that we are observing now, as time is NON LINEAR and we
are at the beginning of the 'oreborus' of time just in a slightly different space
lets call it a "parallel universe", so because we are at the point that is closest to the
end of the old and the beginning of the new we are priviledged to witness the end
of the old
