RE: Will Our Sun Expand and Go Nova or Shrink into a Black Hole?

In fiction, Douglas Adams posited a 'Supernova Bomb' which would blow up all the stars in the universe simultaneously.

Curiously, Carl Sagan actually did some math in Intelligent Life in the Universe and came up with a plausible device to initiate artificial supernovas in most any star. We don't have the technology to build such a gadget, but if we did, it would work. He anticipated a range of at least 4.something lightyears, and obviously, the sun is closer than that.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
