Are You Ready for the End of the World?

Gamma ray bursts are one of the most powerful and deadly forces in the universe. These intense blasts of energy can release as much energy in a few seconds as the sun will release in its entire 10 billion-year lifetime. Scientists have long feared that a gamma ray burst could hit Earth, causing mass destruction and wiping out all life on the planet. Even a burst just outside our solar system could be devastating, as it would strip away the Earth's protective ozone layer, leaving us vulnerable to deadly radiation. But the worst part? These bursts happen every day, and we have no way of predicting when the next one will strike. The next gamma ray burst could be the last thing humanity ever sees.
