Hi Hulk!
Hmmm I can’t tell you for sure 100% basically because I don’t think anyone can know what is going to happen. I am not a physicist but I think it is veeeery unlikely that a supernova (that would affect you) happens during your lifetime, just because of probability. The supernovas scientists detect nowadays have happen millions of years ago, but we only get to see them now because they are very very far away.
So I don’t think you should worry about supernovas!
