One leading theory blames the Ordovician mass extinction of 443 million years ago on such an interstellar gamma-ray burst.All the continents moved to the South Pole and it got really, really cold.
Gamma rays did that?

Is this the latest too stupid to breathe talking point? I've seen it twice on FR this week. It really embarrasses the site.
Did you forget your sarcasm tag? Even the foundations of physics are subject to change and revision (look up Pioneer effect in recent discussions) as new data becomes available. Science has a theory right now, but tomorrow it could and often does change.

of course, if we aren’t on the axis, even by just a little [undetectable] bit,
we could be far enough out of the path to not even be able to measure its effect.

There’s no point acting all surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display in your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for fifty of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now.

At least now I know what tonight’s topic will be on “Coast-to-Coast”.

Bet you he/she also believes the moon landings were faked.

We could do that even if there is no danger. So it’s a great idea!

Thank you. I was beginning to think nobody would get it.
To: Squidpup
Don’t believe the hype...it’s 8,000 light years away...far too distant to really worry about...the supernova in 1054 that formed the Crab Nebula was only about 6,500 light years away, and we’re all still here. Relax...

Bushes fault. Carl Roves machine did it. SUVs driven by Repubs caused it. Mikey Moore will investigate. And Cheryl Crow, Neil young and Bruce Springsteen will hold a concert to save us all. And hand cream to lessen the chafing from all the hand wringing. After all that I’m sure the libs will feel better. Sarc on.

Worry about it 8,000 years after it happens... Hummmm? But it might have happened already --- say 7,999 years ago.
Sleep well. ;~))
