Planet Earth to be Zapped, Sometime Soon...
 

...maybe.

...there is evidence that gamma ray bursts have swept over the planet at various points in Earth's history with a devastating effect on life.

Click for more: A spectacular, rotating binary star system is a ticking time bomb, ready to throw out a searing beam of high-energy gamma rays – and Earth may be right in the line of fire...

Frightening knowing life could be whisked away completely from seemingly nowhere.

fuck yeh
turning into the hulk will rock

well life on earth is apparently going to be wiped out in 100 million years, so what's the big deal folks :(

Pessimist. :D

Apparently the sun is going to expand, just enough in the next 100 million years to heat the earth to such a degree that the oceans will be boiled off.

Of course humanity is more than capable of wiping itself out in a 100 millionth of that time, but...

Well, in evolution time..

Dinos existed for over 200 million years. So.. it's not alot.

We gotta get with the interstellar travel buzz.

I go on a downer about the most bizzare shit when drunk.

bonus!

Pessimist. I want the world to blow itself over.

All life in the universe will eventually come to an end. With the universe constantly expanding and starts eventually collapsing or forming black holes.

entropy.

it's 8000 light years away. that's not close enough to blow off the Van Allen Belt.

Sol system is currently in a relatively underpopulated area of stars between spiral arms, so epoch ending rays are much less of a worry than a large meteorite colliding with us.

its gonna be a blast

Works for me.

sweet. think about the science we'll develop to cope with that.

I read about this in the newpaper and it's rather scary.

would be too much of a coincidence that we discover it and right then it fucks us up. would be a total cosmic joke. i'd die of laughter first.

I hope, I will be dead when this happens.

god i hope its soon

Me too, depression sucks.

Heres hoping.
Maybe we'll mutate to something even better than human beings? What if it's the next stage in evolution?
