Science is very definite about stuff until someone proves beyond resonable doubt that it's wrong and this new way is better, after all the shouting has died down and the last of the rugged individualists have converted then the new idea (which isn't very new any more) becomes the established explanation, and so on ad infinitum.

These astronomers saw something excitable going in the distant past and got very excited that maybe stars are equally unstable and exciting during their middle lives and not just at the end when they get all swelly and red and carboniferous.

Unfortunately they have no way verifying their hypothesis, it's a nice idea about multiple star systems and may even be true but ultimately you're making it up off the back of a MSc. I clearly have not got an MSc in anything because i've never applied myself academically and now i'm too lazy, so in the manner befitting politicians, scientists and shysters everywhere here's some equally likely (and ultimately uncontestable) suggestions for the bloaty star thing :

Cosmic dragons from beyond the rim laying eggs in the star, the expansion was a reaction to the eggs and provides the energy for incubation
Practical joke by a gang of young black holes
Interstellar war - you kill our hive queen, we blow up your sun
Those pesky black monoliths interfering (again)
The ghosts of care bears in limbo running riot and punishing systems for their lack of belief in the care bear god-hood dynasty

Star Killer Bear was one of the lesser known Dark Bear Cabal, he was rarely invited to parties held by the 'Light Bears'

I saw the 9/11 episode of South Park a couple of nights ago and was struck (quite possibly a lot later than the rest of the world) by the similarity between Cartman and Glenn Beck, although i guess Cartman is a parody of all the glenn becks of the world, the lying, bawling, issue fogging, backhand taking, self grandising scum that slime their way to positions of authoritar everywhere.

On the subject, here's a list of resolutions that the GOP thinks it should adopt to guarantee consistancy, with members who contravene the resolutions subjected to penalties

(1) We support smaller government, smaller national debt, lower deficits and lower taxes by opposing bills like Obama�s �stimulus� bill;
(2) We support market-based health care reform and oppose Obama-style government run health care;
(3) We support market-based energy reforms by opposing cap and trade legislation;
(4) We support workers� right to secret ballot by opposing card check;
(5) We support legal immigration and assimilation into American society by opposing amnesty for illegal immigrants;
(6) We support victory in Iraq and Afghanistan by supporting military-recommended troop surges;
(7) We support containment of Iran and North Korea, particularly effective action to eliminate their nuclear weapons threat;
(8) We support retention of the Defense of Marriage Act;
(9) We support protecting the lives of vulnerable persons by opposing health care rationing and denial of health care and government funding of abortion; and
(10) We support the right to keep and bear arms by opposing government restrictions on gun ownership.

As you can see it's just a continuation of their normal socially destructive, racist policies aimed at keeping everyone who isn't a millionaire preacher in their place, the main tenets being hypocrisy and domination of everyone who isn't a wealthy white guy. So i went on a hunt and skimmed through a great many news stories past and present all relating to the Gross Order (of reptilians) Party members and have come up with ten more accurate resolutions based on the ongoing behaviour of aforementioned bastards, so ladies and gentlefops i present to you in no particular order:

The 10 more accurate and currently occuring resolutions of the GOP

(1) We will continue to personally receive millions of dollars from lobbyists to promote special interests
(2) We will use taxpayer money for personal benefits, and claim religious tax relief at every opportunity
(3) We will promote the family but maintain extra marital affairs at our indiscretion
(4) We will condone and deny rights to homosexuals but will maintain a 'wide stance' whenever we feel like indulging our gay side
(5) We will use astroturfing, mob rallys and bent media outlets to give the appearance of grass roots support for policies and will in no way will be be imitating Iran and China in this practice
(6) We will continue to give support for the erosion of the divide between church and state
(7) We will give unflinching support for boardroom decisions over the rights of individuals, corporate profit over social benefits
(8) We will start or maintain as many wars as possible to continue the uninterrupted flow of cash to the industrial-military complex
(9) We will maintain white males in positions of power at every opportunity
(10) We will continue the drive away from moderation towards hardline fundamentalism in the belief that this will win elections

I may go away now, my posting rate and content is becoming patchy and everso slightly repetitive so i clearly need to find a muse and drink the invigorating juices contained within her, bring forth my muse funnel....
