Supernova

A supernova is a dying star (known in scientific lingo as "the progenitor") that lets out a huge burst of light before it explodes and turns into a black hole or neutron star. Cosmological events like this which are not singularities are also a reflection of a particularly human condition. Naturally it’s not something like quantum entanglement that occurs universally in a subatomic level. The gigantic flourish preceding an implosion is a poetic metaphor for the not so quantifiable act of human aspiration. One may recognize this very process in the historical palette of one's emotional life. It starts with an inordinate expenditure of energy which inevitably feels wasted no matter how successful the endeavor--as it leads to entropy and inanition. The spotlight falls on an individual existence before the house goes dark and nobody but the dreamer is left with the memory of what’s occurred.
