That would make Nimoy's cameo utterly pointless.
It's worth Romulus being destroyed if, like Nero and his crew, the survivors jettison the bowl cuts and shoulder pads. It was the Space Fashion Police who set off that supernova!

If you're going to bring Nimoy in as the older Spock people are going to expect him to be the "real" Spock not some alternate version.
The whole point of bring the Nimoy Spock into Star Trek '09 was to link it to the orginal Trek universe and to show that it still exists and wasn't erased from existence.
That's needlessly convoluted.
If you want to cling to the notion that Spock Prime is from some other universe than the prime TOS/TNG one, you're entitled to your opinion. But your opinion would be wrong. The writers of the movie say he's the same Spock. Leonard Nimoy says he's the same Spock. Do you think you know better than Nimoy and the writers?
Since the original timeline was never erased in the first place, what's the problem?
Trek died after Nemesis
And was reborn in 2009.
"Not allowed?"
It had it's chance at going out on a high note and made a hash of it. TOS had its chance to go out on a high note and nailed it.
I thought TUC was dreary and pretentious, myself. STV at least captured the spirit of The Original Series.
Well since Spock prime knows when and where the supernova will occur, there is still time to figure out a way either with red matter or something else to stop it from happening in the first place, which will change the timeline again. (boy I hate time travel, gives me a headache).
If I read right there was some question as to where the Supernova happened. I think it was Romulas' sun. I think there is a line about it.

agreed, TUC is my favorite trek film.
I think its OK if the supernova was in a nearby star system, and not necessarily in the same star system as Romulus itself. It could still move at sublight speeds.
There is an assumption of significant time after the actual supernova and Spock attempting to stop the expansion of the blast. He first has to go to Vulcan, arrange for the Vulcan scientists to outfit the Jellyfish with red matter, and then fly from Vulcan to Romulus (ignoring, of course, that he was too late). That all must have taken time. The Praxis explosion, on the other hand, was nearly instantaneously felt light years away.
The galaxy-changing effects could be referring to the fact that Romulus is the seat of a vast empire. It would be similarly galaxy-changing if Earth were to be destroyed, and like how Vulcan is destroyed in the new timeline.
Why would that change the timeline again? The timeline has already changed, and we currently have no knowledge of future events in the alternate timeline. We know that that star will go supernova in 2387, but that event has not yet occurred from the point of view of nuTrek canon. Anything that happens here on out in nuTrek is part of a new canon.
But you're right, since we know its going to happen, there is time to prevent it.
