This link is inaccurate as 'ordinary' stars go nova, not supernova.-
A new star will fall at a specific point on the main sequence of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, with the main sequence spectral type depending upon the mass of the star. Small, relatively cold, low mass red dwarfs burn hydrogen slowly and will remain on the main sequence for hundreds of billions of years, while massive, hot supergiants will leave the main sequence after just a few million years. A mid-sized star like the Sun will remain on the main sequence for about 10 billion years. The Sun is thought to be in the middle of its lifespan; thus, it is on the main sequence.-Note: This makes no mention of the time it takes to REACH the main sequence, or the subsequent stages after finishing the main sequence BEFORE going nova/supernova.-
Also scientist do not know how old a star is, and it is near impossible for them to tell.-Even IF, it only took 1by years for the largest(also the fewest) stars to reach the point of going super nova, there still would not have been enough supernova to create all the heavier elements in the universe. My little formula was only meant to show, that if you take into account the lifespan of stars (including the necessary time for them to form, become main sequence, go through their main sequence, evolve, go through the next phase, then go supernova, there would not be enough TIME for the heavier elements that they produce to conglomerate into the the planets. And EVEN IF there were enough time for them to form the planets, there would still not be enough time for the earth to evolve along the evolutionary accepted timeline of 3.7by. -Ok, but in all seriousness, and as some who respects your intellect, take the blinders off. I will even give you some help from experts much smarter than me. Don't hold onto a theory because it is comfortable, hold on to a theory because it fits the data.
