  • pretty much star gets wayyy to big explodes releases tons and tons of unstoppable energy from the stars poles. Energy needs a hugh object to abosrb the energy. energy wants to go to earth. ozone destroyed organisms dissapte. 80 t 90% of the earths pop is screwed like kim kardashian

  • i like how the animation was done on this video it resemble what a gamma ray burst might look like

  • @ProjectVRD A recent research paper estimated that a gamma-ray burst, pointed at us from a distance around 1 kpc (~3200 light-years), could cause a major depletion of the ozone layer, which would in turn allow a dangerous amount of UV radiation to reach the surface and have a severe impact on life globally. Fortunately, the rate of gamma-ray bursts is low enough so that they expect such event to happen about once every billion years. So we shouldn't worry too much.

  • @meithan Very true, but now they know it is channelled it meaning one occurring from within our galaxy could fry our planet if it directly hit us. How close in our galaxy I am not sure, can't remember lol

  • It was on the science channel they had a whole show about it it happend back in 2003 and it wouldent stop for 2 months some thought the universe was ending.

  • @steamingpoopfart That's nonsense. While GRBs are one of the most energetic events we've observed, it's false that they're brighter (or more energetic) than all the stars in the universe. In fact, for some time astrophysicists miscalculated their energy because they assumed they were spherical "explosions", but it turns out they're strongly beamed along one direction. This means they're not as energetic as previously thought. And just HOW it proved E=mc^2 wrong??

  • it happened a few years ago and nasa said that u could put all the stars in the universe and blow them up and it would still not be as strong as what they found it also proved e=mc2 to be WRONG

  • I wouldn't go so far as to say 'most likely,' but yeah, something like that.

  • isnt there a neutron star in a death spin with another called the reyet or something like that that most likely will make a GRB pointed right at us about 8000 light years away

  • Dog I think we can survive that because we're human's. We're powerful.
