    Oh that’s cool. If her colleague is right, they found a natural particle collider. It would have many times the energy of the LHC too

      Many times is a severe understatement. A supernova is also many times more powerful than a firecracker.

      Could black hole near misses by stars possibly have fused some elements which novas can’t explain?
