Is Kochab going to go supernova?
Yes there is a good possibility that Kochab is going to or has gone supernova. The Star is in the right phase and also has sufficient mass to experience a supernova. However, this has nothing to do with myths or predictions. Nostradamis may have said "It would appear from the experience that Kochab went supernova" but how would he know? As nothing, especially information can travel faster than the speed of light, there is no way he could have known that Kochab had gone supernova without seeing the light as well. Considering the letter was dated in 1558 and Kochab is only about 120 light years away, we should have seen the outburst in 1678! This was also one of the way to many basic flaws in the movie 2012 supernova.
