I know my imperical research professor would tell me that chance can and does work that way. I have many personal experiences of super improbable occurrences. But I still want to believe that they had a way of knowing that somehow got lost.

But I always thought it would come as retribution from some civilized planet for their combined radio waves streaming Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and the like into its part of the intergalactic ether. As for Dogons, kissing Genevieve Bujold, and over-reactions to elbows on butts, I'll save that for further contemplation once the lights go out.

What your astronomer friend may have been referring to is the time between when the LIGHT goes out until the shockwave reaches us. The LIGHT would be travelling at the speed of light, naturally, but the shockwave (of particles) would be travelling slighly more slowly, hence the few months delay. A fascinating (to me) article about the closest supernova candidate is at: <br /> https://tinyurl.com/keozlxe<br />Other sources I looked at all agree that Sirius isn't serious, not at all a likely candidate to go supernova, due to the distance between the two co-orbiting stars in the system. If they were much much closer, THEN we'd be in trouble. Well... anyone living on the earth in some millions of years.<br />Everett Kaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12371555243187874414noreply@blogger.com
