Why do 1A Supernovas always explode at the same exact point?"
Hi. I've had a question lately that I can't seem to find out the answer to. Why do type 1A Supernovae always explode at exactly the same level of mass and energy? I thought that if the
star was more massive, it would be able to "hold off" the explosion for an amount of time because, simply, its more massive and can have more mass taken away, and smaller stars would go sooner...
Also, could anyone that answers this question answer it more in laymans terms? I am only thirteen, I don't exactly know the meaning of any equations or words like "equilibrium"...
Thanks! :)
