what exactly would happen to life on earth if a gamma ray struck the earth from 1,500 light years away?
would the molecules of living organisms be torn apart? if yes, how would that occur? why would it occur?
would molecules that make up breathable air and water also break apart? if that happened, what would happen to the earth as we know it?
okay, so the gamma ray burst would suddenly hit only one side of the planet. what happens then to the living things and elements of the earth on its other side?
why have i heard that a gamma ray burst is the most dangerous natural disaster that could adversely affect life on this planet?
what happens to the entire solar system? would a gamma ray, once it hit our planet, then "disburse" its forces outside of our atmosphere? if yes, to where and to what extent?
