Gamma Ray Bursts are the Deadliest Things in the Universe

#HowTheUniverseWorks
Think of it like a cosmic ray gun. The energy released from a gamma ray burst is equivalent to a hundred trillion nuclear weapons going off every second for a hundred billion years. They can reduce planets to vapor.

Our mind cannot picture how big or how powerful that is. 100 trillion nuclear bomb blow every second for 100 billion years. That's nuts

[nlo]

Considering the size and distance, that must have fried a lot of systems on the way here. Lucky we only saw a bit of the left-overs.

Personally, I wouldn't want to get in the way of a gamma ray burst no matter how many billions of light-years away it originated. Nevertheless, I don't think there's any denying it's awe-inspiring.

"The energy is equivalent to 100 trillion hydrogen bombs going off ever second for 100 billion years"

[BraveFencer]

[innit]

I'm curious to know what If a gamma ray burst hit a black hole you'd think it would destroy it right?

[jacksepticeye]

Interesting, sadly, one of my pals died from a gamma ray burst.

[kevintu]

I want to be an areospace engineer now

[timtemple]

Fortunately it is not coherent light at that point. Otherwise, it could destroy the core of the Earth in a fraction of a second.

[donquixotedoflamingo]

Imagine if a Gamma ray burst is absorbed by another black hole. Would the universe tear apart?

[moistmeme]

can we get some comments that actually talk about the GRB and not some weebs







Ps: i love dragon ball I'm not being serious

[GilburtTheGreat]

The universe really just said "fuck it, Kamehameha"

[stoneylonesome]

“What’s up, Wanderers of the Capital Wasteland? This is THREE DOG, and you listening to Galaxy News Radio!”

[Davo]

If a gamma ray is close enough to earth we'd be knackered.

[cobrastriker]

Would it be possible to harness the energy of this gamma ray one day and use it to our advantage?
