I’ve always said, astrophysicists have entirely too much power!

Perhaps the genetic mutation that brought about The Great Leap Forward in humans was caused by a gamma ray burst. More likely two bursts. Half the people got the short one.

A graviton wave preceding a gamma ray burst 14,200 years ago had triggered the Vela and Crab supernova explosions, an event not recorded in history, but one that perhaps survives in oral tradition. Is this an account of mass radiation sickness followed by photochemical smog from ozone depletion?:

6 Wail, for the day of the LORD is near;
it will come like destruction from the Almighty.[a]
7 Because of this, all hands will go limp,
every heart will melt with fear.
8 Terror will seize them,
pain and anguish will grip them;
they will writhe like a woman in labor.
They will look aghast at each other,
their faces aflame.

9 See, the day of the LORD is coming
—a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger—
to make the land desolate
and destroy the sinners within it.
10 The stars of heaven and their constellations
will not show their light.
The rising sun will be darkened
and the moon will not give its light.

On a parallel path, the in the Mesoamerican myth of Tamoanchan was a paradise where the gods created the first of the present human race - a cave, which is probably the only place where a human could survive the radiation from an intense gamma ray burst.

Space is a violent place.

But it is mostly empty. I think that is why it is called "space".

1 × 10−27 kg/m3 Very approximate density of the universe

But then again an atom is more dense, so I guess it all evens out in the end.

1.1418822249239304929572734539251e+4 kg/m3 (at least that is what my Casio says)
