I read Oahspie, a "sacred text" produced by John Ballou Newbrough through "automatic writing". My question is not to debate the veracity or usefulness of this source, but there was something that was described in the text that I found fascinating.
In the text it was stated (more or less) that whenever a star is about to go supernova, lots of "angels" gather around the star system in question to watch it happen (at relatively close range). It was implied that they do this for more or less the same reason humans go watch fireworks: its just really cool.
My question for the 'Cs' is:
Are major astrophysical events such as supernova or planetary nebula formation or black hole accretion observed by some entity by some process? It seems to me that there are an infinite variety of interesting phenomenon that our species and technology are incapable of observing. For example, what would it be like to go into a star? Is it possible for someone at whatever level of existence to observe the complete range of phenomenon for learning (or even for its sheer entertainment value as suggested by Oahspie). It would be "fun" I think, to watch a star go supernova (at close range), it would be less fun to die in the process... Certainly given our current state, death would be certain and swift. Is one of the things "we" can look forward to as we progress is the ability to more completely witness and learn in detail about a greater range of the operation of this vast and wonderful universe we inhabit?
