数十年来，天文学家们一度怀疑一种更寂静的恒星爆炸的存在——称之为“对不稳定”超新星，其能量超过普通超新星100倍。

For decades astronomers have suspected the existence of a type of stellar explosion that is bigger still-a "pair-instability" supernova, with 100 times more energy than an ordinary supernova.

然而，一个系统若不能在某一平衡点上保持稳定，就与一场爆炸一样不堪，死得也一样快。

Yet unless a system stabilizes to an equilibrium point, it is no better than an explosion and just as soon dead.

但是这起爆炸仍然提醒了我们，无论其如何大肆宣传，印度仍不是一个完全处于和平稳定状态的国家。

But the bombings serve as a reminder that India, despite all the hype, is not a country wholly at peace.
