On the serious side.....when will it explode?
Are scientists expecting a near human time of a SN?
IE days, months, years or decades ( or deca decades)?
I've read that it has produced SN 'burps' at a rate of roughly 20 years apart. The last one in 1967. None since. So its over due......Could that mean a Large outburst? soon....

Also read that it could be 10 million years.

Has there been any scientific data from other predicted SN's that has been wrong ( ie sooner than expected)?
