Correct me if I am wrong but isn't possible that it has already gone supernova and that we would already be dead if it were going to effect us but we just haven't seen the light from it's explosion yet I suppose it all depends on whether the blast wave would reach us before the light maybe it is already all over and we don't have anything to worry about.

It's probably more plausible than the Mayan calendar thing.

The media has got to be the worst form of noticing the public of this sort of event!! I mean they make it sound so horrible!!! It would be like screaming "WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!! EVERYONE PANIC AND LOOT EVERYTHING!!!"

I'm up for a bit of panic-inciting, a soupcon of looting, perhaps some pillaging and a touch of pre-apocolypse vandalism, followed by a nice cup of tea.
Anyone with me?

I really think that people who have no understanding of science should be banned from writing about it.

Maybe missing the point a little here.... this is "The Sun" we're talking about here. It's a tabloid...i.e. entertainment. the same paper that relays the latest UFO sighting to you each week.

According to einstein, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, so we would see the light before the blast hits us...

 I remember the SUN. Page 2 is the only page that was worth it IMO.  I remember one week they wrote that a B42 bomber crash site was found on the moon. Then the following week that Hitler's skeleton was amongst the wreckage

That fact was not lost on me. The sad thing is that a lot of people will believe the story because it appears to be based on science. Aliens in spaceships are just sligthly less believable...

No they won't - they're "The Sun" readers!

It is a beat up. Eta Carina if it goes SN is far more likely to produce massive amounts of gamma radiation. We are just far enough away to be OK. I hope!
As for tabloid dimwits writing stories of things beyond their comprehension which is nearly everything. Nothing that is at all plausible to see. Only dimwits dribbling from their mouths. Sorry looking at the wrong end!
