Don’t want to be within a million light years when that one pulls a gamma ray burst.
I read an article recently that said that when two black holes merge, one-third of the total mass is converted into pure energy. In this case, the energy locked up in the mass of six billion Suns. Presumably, that energy escapes during the collision, though I can’t imagine how. The mind boggles... I don’t know if a million light years would even be a safe distance... Anyone?
GRBs emanate out the poles. So, just make sure you’re off to the side when it spits them out.
