Kersten and Smirnov, however, show that this decoherence effect does not have any impact on the experimental measurement of the oscillation probability for each neutrino flavour; they only demonstrate this result in cases that are similar to, albeit simpler, than what
happens in a supernova, where collective effects occur.

This is NOT to say the resurrection did or did not
happen, it is to say with Troeltsch, that the resurrection is not a «historical» fact
in the sense that it is not possible for historians to consider it — just as a
supernova would not be a biological or sociological «fact» because it is outside their scope, don't mean novae don't
happen!

supernovas have
happened in the past decade, but only about 50 of them were «superluminous,» meaning they were 100 times brighter than usual

supernova explosion.
Recent Hubble Space Telescope images of a

NASA's Kepler spacecraft made an unexpected catch

in detail.
To test whether this is really
happening, Bramante suggests looking for type Ia
supernovae in areas with lots of dark matter, the central region of a galaxy, say, and checking to see if their progenitor stars differ from what we expect.
«If you have many young stars all forming
in the same place at the same time, they have tremendous stellar winds; some of them will blow up as
supernovae — a lot of things can
happen that heat gas and cause bubbles to expand,» Finkbeiner said.
Type I
supernovae happen in close binary systems and do not show strong hydrogen emission lines.
Type II
supernovae happen in single star systems (or at least far enough away from any companion star to retain their hydrogen outer layers) and have strong hydrogen emission lines.
From our perspective, the
supernova happened almost 1000 years ago,
in July, 1054.
Another kind of

happen» to all collect into the right part of the earth's orbit at exactly the right time and the right velocity so they accumulate together?
The flashes are incredibly bright, and are
in fact close to the same maximum brightness that one would expect to see from a
supernova, but they
happen far more rapidly than any
supernova observed
in the past.
