Yes this prediction in the Schneider paper was discussed a few posts above (3 March), Dave.
As I said then, I can see no real astrophysical basis for this.
The rest of the article is not bad at all. Thanks for sharing it.
The link to Forbes does not work for me. I found it here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiecartereurope/2025/03/20/a-star-may-explode-next-week-in-once-in-80-years-event—what-to-know/
Edit: this link does not work either. The real link, bizarrely and unhelpfully, contains three hyphens in a row which seem to get corrupted into a single long line.
