öGod-like powers.ö
My point is though how could a small group gain god-like powers? How could a small group advance there technology so far ahead of the Jove? So far that the Jove donÆt even understand how some of it works let alone start to use.
The Jove suffered a major set back in their civilization's progress witht eh fall of the "First Jovian Empire" and the Jovian Disease. This will have set the Jove's technological advancement back a fair way.
The Enheduanni could be, like the Jove, a human civilization that kept it's knowledge when the EVE Gate fell (unlike the 4 Empires). But unlike the Jove, did not suffer from their own problems (the Jovian Disease), and so progressed unfettered. Thus, in the time since the EVE Gate's collapse, they can have advanced much further than the Jove, altering themselves even further.
There is reference in the PF that the Jove are not considered by some to still be human. The Jove do still consider themselves to be human, but sufficient genetic changes could even force them to see a group as no longer human. If the Enheduanni have followed the same route as the Jove, but are further ahead at it, then they could no longer be recognizably human.
But there are several options as to what the Enheduanni are. First is that they're another civilization who can trace their roots back to Earth, like all other known groups in New Eden. Second is that they're and offshoot of the Jove (perhaps remnants of the First Jovian Empire, who were not affected by the Disease, and so massively advanced over the current Jovian Empire). Third is that they're a more recent offspring of Milky Way humans, who have travelled to New Eden after the collapse of the EVE Gate. Fourth is that they're non-human aliens.
Until more detailed prime fiction is written about them, it's largely guess work as to which they are.

Can we please get the topic back on track my post is not about these freaks. But how we in EVE are to take over space much further out from New Eden and that we will never likely meet our ancestors because of the explosion.
'Fraid not old chap. The OP does not get to choose what is discussed, only where the discussion starts

It was the second Jovian empire that ended with the Jovian Disease.
My bad, you're right. Still, you get my drift.

Reading that paragraph afresh, it makes me realise something. That implies that the wormhole never shut, but that the stuff on the other side has become a hell-storm.
Does that mean the the Milky Way has blown up? (Or, er, less dramatically, the system with the other end of the wormhole in has gone all supernova or some such?)

The wormhole has shut as far as anything is concerned.
Well no, it wasn't. Not according to the chronicles.
Transport through it has been severed by, and I quote, "extremely bright and powerful electromagnetic turbulence". It's still there and sill open though. You can go and look at it if you like. It's quite pretty (and you can add a signed anchored can to the mass of the ones already there, immortalising your visit). It's a bit of an EVE pilgrimage really- all true EVE players feel the need to eventually

If you can not go through it or send any probes there then it is shut.
Not really. It's like a door. If it's shut then you can't go through it. If theres a big fire in the room on the other side you still can't go through (without dying), even though the door is still there, in tact and open.
The EVE Gate could still connect the exact same two points in space, and still allow matter and energy to pass through it freely and easily. However, if the Milky Way end's star has gone supernova (or worse, the whole galaxy has gone to pot) then the only thing that'll be travelling anywhere anytime soon is fire. And lots of it.
But if stuff is travelling between the two points in space, it's still technically open. Even if that stuff is deadly, it's still travelling.
