I just had a thought about this Gamma Ray Burst and Extraterrestrial Life.

If we want to call attention to ourselves, we should send a signal out (you know, like the Prime Numbers, etc), in the direction this burst is headed - right now. We know that any race intelligent enough to have their own version of SWIFT has the capability to detect our signal.

If indeed there is another race that picks up on this we know they’ll be looking in our direction.

Just a thought.

I wonder if a GRB event could cook my frozen pizza?

So, anyone know how “narrow” the GRB would be? Even if it were confined to a beam of 0.001 degrees, that would still be over 130,000 light years across after traveling 7.5 billion light years.

Edward, the gamma rays are reaching us now. They’re not intense enough to do any damage.

Will the gamma rays eventually reach us in 7.5 billion years?
Or will they diminish to a point that is inconsequential?
