The final stage of evolution for stars with mass 10 times greater than the sun is a supernova. After the explosion of a supernova, neutron stars, pulsars, and black holes are generated. The universe chronicles its life cycle in this method : the birth of such a star, its evolution, supernova explosion, and the recomposition of elements thereafter, return to interstellar gases, and the reformation of a star. The fundamental idea of a supernova is nuclear fusion, and as nuclear power technology developed, advancements were made to the point of being able to force a planet or star into its supernova state. Like the nuclear bomb of the 20th century, the universe had just encountered a potentially deadly technological breakthrough.
