#3 Well, there is a silver lining. My IRAs and retirement investments won't suffer when the bang comes--if it happens.

What's the probability of this event occurring? What's its predicted trajectory?

#7 "On the upside we'll never see it coming. The EM-burst travels the speed of light so the only warning we'd have is dying - which most people will accept is a little too late"

But Bursts may be drawn to previously landed meteors. The Superman/Kryptonite thoery...

So, it could be drawn to a certain mystic rock in the Western Region of Saudi Arabia. The effects of that energy could be unpredictable. 72 Virgins for everybody! Irrespective of race color or creed....

#8 YAWN. They try to say the same thing about Eta Carinae every now and then. Both EC and WR104 are about 8000 light years away. It would take a REALLY lucky hit for the gamma burst to even fry a satellite, much less us.

The Crab Nebula 'event' (1054AD) was much closer (6500 light years.) An we still haz provurbyal cheezburger.
