Welcome to part nine of our end of the world series.
if you ever watch the incredible hulk you know the dangers of gamma rays but
what you might know
that massive gamma-ray bursts occur in space on a regular basis
the bursts arise when two collapsed stars crash into one another
the resulting explosion generates ten quad trilliant times more energy than our sun
how much energy is that?
if a burst occurred one thousand light years from the earth
it would be so bright
they would "" our planet with radiation but how often does that happen?
The answer is 'every single day'
for there's no telling when such a burst might happen closer to the earth
until then keep watching the skies because it could be
the very last thing you see
Though radiation is a serious topic - Hollywood has taken a lot of creative licenses
with the what if about a radiation exposure for the monstrosity of Godzilla
to the creation of flesh-eating zombies Stop by Facebook and tell me
what radiation themed book, movie or TV show was your favorite and why?
I'll be reading your posts and commenting myself
Until next week Stay curious
