No ****.

'Course, as somebody pointed out, by that time if we haven't unmade the universe (read The Forever Peace** by Joe Haldeman to see what I'm babbling about - but get it at the library, it's a crappy book!) in a fit of self-destructive fury, we'll probably EAT that kind of radiation. :-) So it all works out in the end.

Thus, a star on the opposite side of our sun in the Milky Way can blow its top way over there and cook us all. Amazing. Now that would make an interesting Trek movie: Hypernovea Terrorists. Then again, it would likely take hundreds or thousands of years for the the radiation to travel to its destination. But, reality never stopped the writers before. The Romulans could set off Beetlejiuce, for example. It is nearly ready to blow anyhow I hear. ________________ oop.ismad.com
