[@auroraourania7161]

I am an Astrophysics major (although this knowledge isn't from a class), we don't currently know of any stars large enough to create a GRB that are pointed at us and close enough to cause mass extinction level damage. The closest possibility is WR 104, a Wolf Rayet star (basically a star that's so big and powerful that it's blasting off a sizeable fraction of its mass in its solar wind, although there are other traits), which is pointed vaguely towards us and very large, but it's not certain that it will create a GRB (one originating in a high metallicity star would be unusual) and only certain attempts to measure its axis have shown it as anywhere near pointed at us, other methods have found it pointed well to the side and therefore not a threat. Short duration GRB, which are created by colliding neutron stars, would be harder to identify as those are small enough that us failing to detect them is a real possibility at the ranges close enough to be a threat, but those are even more rare, and release less energy than long duration ones.

[@--Voltz--]

Hello Kurzgesagt! I really admire you and I love the work that you do! I'd like to share something rather personal with you. Something I've been holding onto for about 2 years now and I have to tell you this now. So, please allow me to elaborate so by the time your done reading my comment, you'll know why.. Firstly, I am a deaf man but I haven't always been deaf! You see, I was born with a horrible disease called Ménière's and after me fighting and battling with it for 23 years of my life, it finally took my hearing from me.. I knew eventually I'd lose my hearing before I was 30 years old, due to the aggressive progression of it but during my last year of hearing, I tried so much to listen to as much of the things I loved because the only way I would be able to hear again.. was.. to relive my memories.. My sister has helped me so much through my depression and what she started doing for me - and even still to this very day - she writes down videos for me in my notebook and then I'll try to read and watch the video the best I can because sadly, the KZbin Captions are worthless. That is how I found you. I especially fell in love with you're work because in that field, making a deaf person hear again is possible and I long so badly to hear again. It saddens me that if I ever meet a woman and have kids, I'll never hear their voices.. It saddens me even more deeply I can't here my mom's voice no more or even my dad's.. I never realized how ungrateful I really was with my life.. How I took things for granted and how I long to change my past because now I know, what it means to be appreciative!! You sadly don't appreciate something until you don't have it no more.. I sadly, learn't the hard way. So, for watching your videos for about 2 years now, it has really helped me so much through my depression.. in ways you probably wouldn't understand.. I'm always so excited when you release a new video because, I love to LEARN! And one last thing before I end this, a few weeks ago, my Doctor diagnosed me with Endocrine Cancer but I am still waiting on the official results.These last few years, I was slowly getting out of my depression but getting that news, really.. really brought me down..i don't want to go blind too!! i don't want to die either.. So, I needed to get this off my chest because who knows, I might be dead in a few months, I don't know. I was never one to express my self but all I have had since I went deaf, was the KZbin Community and I am just thanking all the ones that has helped me through this that didn't even know they we're even there for me! I know my comment will disappear with all the others and that's OK!! At least I know I took my time to write this for ya! Thanks for everything and thanks for being there for me, when you didnt even know you was.. goodbye friend. bye bye now and remember, rock on!!

Don't worry my dude! The atmosphere will absorb most of it, so, when it hits, the sky'll turn white (maybe enough to temporarily blind you) and most of the Ozone layer will be gone. It would take you a month to die from slower causes like lack of oxygen, tumors and sun exposure. So, when and IF it happens, quickly get indoors and you'll only get sunburnt a bit.

[@darajabar93]

@@happythanos6632 no it was exactly a GRB, you could even see multiple giant stars going supernova and creating black holes in his face layout. Gamma Ray Bursts annihilate everything in this paths for lightyears, but they do not destroy what is around them. They are very straight ray bursts, which is why Earth was saved when saitama jumped to the sky. The GRB will annihilate everything frontward and backward, and that is exactly how it happens in the universe when a super massive star dies and creates a super black hole. If the ray even GRAZED earth, it would have literally murdered it.

Imagine there’s life near a binary neutron star. They’ve calculated when the stars will merge, everyone gathers for the spectacular event, and Than it just turns into a tiny black dot and everything fricken dies.

[@mattthai7378]

@TK How? If the atmosphere gets burnt away from the planet, complex life would be pretty screwed. You would have to build a habitat in space and hide behind the planet to shield from the burst, and then... Well, life would suck for a pretty long time while you lived in space waiting for the planet to recover I guess. In any case, not ideal.

I had a dream about this happening but it wasn't exactly the same, it was a cosmic ray that pulsated heat waves of increasing intensity apparently microwaves that turn infrared. I had to stay in a car to not die. It was crazy because I felt the heat. It caused severe raining but ironically this kept it from continuing to grow very hot but I still felt the heat pulses. It was scary.
