CORE DEFINITION

Using a stellar supernova explosion as a metaphor: a violent release after long-term accumulation, which is both destruction and the birth of new elements.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

A perspective of destructive creation. Some transformations must undergo a violent "outburst" to give rise to new things.

anchor

Anchor fast decisions

The process of a supernova explosion: after a star exhausts its nuclear fuel, it loses support, leading to core collapse or a thermonuclear runaway in a white dwarf, releasing enormous energy and ejecting the outer layers into interstellar space. It is an event of matter and energy redistribution on a cosmic scale.
