ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I hereby acknowledge that the main character of this book is an asshole and extremely politically incorrect. Give him a break, he was severely abused as a child, and he doesn’t hate everyone. He hates you. Yes, you. Personally. And he hasn’t even met you, yet. If you ever do meet, you should be extremely polite and back away slowly. Do not annoy the nuclear hand grenade with the pin half pulled.
I also sincerely doubt that Hawking Radiation has an effect on nucleosynthesis. All science in this book is entirely made-up handwavium and should be roundly ignored and even ridiculed.
IT’S ABOUT SUPERHEROES! DUH! THE SCIENCE IS MADE UP!
Although there is a theory that stars require a water layer to form. Which, if you’re into cosmology, creates a chicken-and-egg problem.
