Not a waste at all, Robert, for now we *are* doing something
extropic with the matter that was created in those ancient
supernovae. Furthermore, *some* of the energy thus released
is being used for creating extropy, since it is collected
by our astronomical instruments, converted to electrons,
subsequently pondered by our greatest astronomers' minds,
converted to memes, which ultimately result in a new cosmic
awareness of our lonely place in this vast universe. This
represents the first example ever in the brief history of
time, as far as we know for certain, that supernovae really
*are* producing extropy.
