Two white dwarfs rocketing through space are the fastest free-moving stars that we know about and evolutionist think that they could explain how some supernovae form.

“Type Ia supernovae are so reliably bright that astronomers use them as measuring sticks for assessing how far away distant stars and galaxies are. These supernovae tend to occur when a white dwarf siphons off matter from a neighbouring star,”

But astronomy is tainted with its millions of fyearss  and any one who   thinks differently will be ostracized.
