Betelgeuse resolved one night
That he was feeling far too bright
So he blew out gasses, fast and loose
And became the black hole Betelgeuse

Maybe it already happened 630 years ago...

[Denny]

good ta know it wasn't before my lifetime!

do you get special emails about these things?

[dwest]

I get Supernova e-mails but I don'y use it much.

But isn't simultaneity itself defined by the speed of light? Which means that 640 years ago on Betelgeuse is literally now here. And as we look up at the sky, all times from the beginning of the universe are simultaneously present.

Oh wow, man, that's heavy. Dude, hand me another brownie.

Whoa. It's, like ... moving. And not moving. And ... whoa.
