It’s minor bumps of the branes. These guys have it all wrong. Remember, I said it first.
This should not be a problem. Obama will throw a few taxpayer dollars at one of his friends to start a green energy company to power the gamma-ray bursts...
Another thing to thank the Almighty for: there isn’t one of these things within 1000 light years of us.

Astronomers pinpoint origin of the most powerful magnetic bursts

University of Arizona astronomers have pinpointed the origin of powerful bursts from nature's most magnetic objects. The bursts are from 'magnetars,' some of the most enigmatic objects in the universe. Magnetars are a type of neutron star, which are superdense stars that pack the mass of a sun into a body the size of Manhattan Island. Tiny magnetars possess magnetic fields that are at least 100 trillion times as powerful as Earth's magnetic field. They occasionally produce powerful bursts, hurling high-energy radiation cascading across space. The origin of these energetic eruptions and the strong magnetic fields is a mystery.
I used to think gamma ray bursts were from the other side, or from holes burned right into or through the fabric of space, briefly shinning into our dimension like a search light...I’m not so sure now.
