OK, you have approximate estimate of the size of or galaxy, well, figuratively speaking, compared to the universe, which we assume is very, very large, our galaxy is pretty small. If you don't think the universe is large, humor me for a minute... Anyways, You say that to measure a very large supernova, one would need a very distant SN. If our calculations get more and more fuzzy over longer distances, how can you possibly give sure estimates on a very distant SN? It's true, astronomy is a science of experiments, but it's also a science of observations, and using excuses about experiments when it's nearly impossible to experiment with something so distant as these SN's that your talking about. Back to what I was saying before...
