The Most energetic event in the universe, created when a giant star goes hypernova, or when two blackholes merge. one reason its so powerful is, instead of spherical expansion, its extremly focused, like a beam of pure energy!

    @joaocool123 (P.S The atmosphere would be intact, but the OZONE layer would be fried, btw, we're talking about GRB's that are way more powerful than the one that hit the Earth, the type that would overload our ozone layer)

    @amerrell Actually a GRB wouldn't destroy the Earth, not strong enough like the Death Star from Star Wars, it would however fry the half it faces, the other half behind the Earth will be unscathed, but if the Ozone layer ripped (Which will) the entire Earth would be blasted with the Sun's radiation. +1

    Yeah, a gamma ray would probably destroy the Earth, not just roast it. -1
