Update to A New Supernova Theory

    Proposal of a new Supernova Theory
      John P. Boatwright 1/10/05

A number of items have been found supporting the original theory:

* Chandra X-ray telescope shows new stars burning
  very hot, 10X hotter than our present day sun.

* Though not new, the FUSOR effect enables fusion at
  at a much lower temperature, where ions are able to
  fuse due to electrostatic potential differences that
  overcome the coulomb effect. Only a few thousand volts
  of potential difference is required for lighter element
  fusion to occur.

* Research has shown that there are millions of volts
  of potential difference in our sun's solar flares and 
  very high accelaration of ions for even small flares.

I should probably discuss these in more detail, but 
suffice it to say, heavier than iron fusion is easily
possible due to the processes occuring within the a
star's atmosphere, hence, it's easily possible for the
heavier than iron elements to fall below the surface
of a new star, build up in a ring of FISSIONABLE heavier
than iron elements at the 0.7 solar radii, which would 
then eventually go unstable, to explode out in a FISSION 
ring explosion.

As such, the supernova shows the characteristic splitting 
of a star with the ejected poles, the dust cloud at the 
equatorial region shooting out, then eventually the 
regathering matter to give the dust disk around that 
previously exploded star.
