A star up there goes nova---and we are here to see it and take note.

Here and now, we are simply "noticing" the results of the big bang. That, only because the bang, eventually, made our evolved presence able to perceive it's fallout.

If, on the other hand, our own sun would go nova, we most probably would be deprived of our ability to notice anything at all. A moot point then?? No. It would then be up to others 'out there' to see and make sense out of.

The big bang is just a larger cosmic occurrence.
