Pair-instability can only happen in low-metalicity surroundings.
The big bang created hydrogen, helium, and small amounts of lithium. Any higher elements are created by stars, and a significant presence of those "metals" will take a star down a different path than pair-instability.
Low-metalicity environments are not likely to be friendly to life.

It was a supergiant, hence died at a young age, and unlikely to have evolved life of any kind in its system.

That’s what Singer’s civilization wants you to think before they send a Photoid or Dual-Vector foil (but later would require a supervisor’s approval which is a PITA)

I just want to live long enough for space telescopes to evolve exponentially to observe kilonovas in the visual spectrum
I mean laser interferometers are an amazing advancement but just imagine seeing an earth-sized chunk of gold pop out of a kilonova (probably not my lifetime but eventually a human will see it happen)
Thank goodness this administration did not frack with Nancy Grace Roman Telescope, I thought the name alone would make them cancel it or rename it after him, wait maybe I shouldn't even mention that idea...
I know you are a bad-faith bot account, so this is not posed to you.
I am wondering why there are so many of these accounts popping up. They seemingly only exist to antagonize. What do their operators get out of that?

What do 14 year olds get out of trolling anything? A cheap grin and something to do on an after school evening.

heh, funny you say that - I just yesterday almost bit at some obvious Nego-Trolling on here and remembered "Just don't engage".
Some people, for some reason at certain points in their life, just want to shit on other people's stuff, any way that they can, for... reasons.
I mean, clearly it's not to make themselves feel better, because how on Earth could that work?
There's no value in engaging, in any way whatsover. Sadly there's very little that can be done to prevent that form of human behaviour, without otherwise souring the experience for the generality.

It can make them feel better by giving them a chance to look down on someone else. (The "looking down" doesn't have to be the content of the post - the act of trolling is a form of looking down on someone.)

That's the idea but it does not work. Self esteem is still negative afterwards

When you're really, really angry you look for an outlet. Some people kick the dog, some abuse their gf/wife/kids, others troll on online forums.

Yeah, I get that. But does it actually make them feel better?
What do they say about sugaring trauma?

Welcome to the general public. You'll meet all the people you go to great lengths to avoid in the real wold, online.
