Yes it did take "hours". Because the explosion happened inside a chunk of "hyper dense" mater. The interior of a star in very dense and photons just can't move through it. Heck they don't move through concrete either. Then as the explosion continued finally the whole mess gets bigger as the bits of fly outward. Finally the hot little bits are exposed to open space and radiate. There is no light flash until the hot bits of gas from the core explosion are exposed to space. Stars are huge and it takes "hours" for heated parts to travel to a place where they have a direct line of site radiation path to Earth. Another way to say it is that the light we see is not from the nuclear explosion. That was hidden from us by the outer layers of the star. The light we see is from the hot gas that is pushed into space by the explosion and it takes some hours for the gas to get pushed to a place we ca see it -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
