You told me it's impossible to back up the idea that solar systems with stars that have gone nova still have their systems largely in tact. I just pointed you to 3 identified Super Nova's that have transpired in the last 300 years that you could go look at their solar systems, right this second.A supernova is a release of energy and radiation -- not fire and gasoline, bruh. It's not a Michael Bay explosion.

Nothing there mentions anything about intact planetoids surrounding those stars.

And yes, radiation. To the point that sitting at the edge of our solar system when it went nova would kill you from the [i]neutrios[/i]. They are inconceivably powerful. Our star going nova would be brighter than a nuke exploding right next to your eyeball.
