Fun fact, supernovae take only seconds to undergo extremely violent processes that typically result in their explosion.
E.g., "Within a few seconds of the collapse process, a substantial fraction of the matter in the white dwarf undergoes nuclear fusion, releasing enough energy (1–2×10^44 J) to unbind the star in a supernova."
