[00:00:00]The universe produces one of these every single day. Distribution completely random. Warning time zero. Gamma-ray bursts are the most violent explosions in the universe since the Big Bang itself. A typical GRB releases more energy in seconds than our sun will produce in its entire 10 billion year lifetime. They mark the birth of black holes. When a massive star collapses or two neutron stars collide and merge. For a brief moment, they outshine the rest of the observable universe combined. If one occurred within 3,000 light-years aimed directly at Earth, our ozone layer would be destroyed.

[00:00:44]Some paleontologists believe this already happened. The Ordovician extinction. 85% of marine species gone.

[00:00:53]In 2022, a GRB 2.4 billion light-years away disrupted Earth's ionosphere. Had it occurred in our galaxy, global catastrophe. One per day. Random. No warning. Cosmic snipers. No warning. One per day. Does the universe feel safe to you now? It never did. It did until now.

[00:01:17]I don't sleep anyway.

[00:01:19]The universe produces one of these every single day.
