The newest STAR TREK assumes that a nova can happen as a surprise to a
starfaring civilization. That is certainly not the consensus of modern
day scientists.
Perhaps the Romulan government ignored warnings of the supernova made by
their astronomers (and sent the astronomers to prison camps) in the same
way the Bush Administration kept ignoring and suppressing warnings of
global warming!

Nero is not going to lose his wife to the tragedy as the upcoming nova

wife be wiped out.
I had no idea that President Truman was killed by a volcano! How weird!
Of course, Mr. Orci seems to be unaware of that reality. The Orcian

apparently display no warnings before The Day.
Thanks for pointing out nits that I missed!
