“Are they going to kill us? Probably not.” Me: oh thank god.. “But, since they travel the speed of light, we won’t see it coming.” “So, there could already be a GRB on its way to kill us all and we won’t know it until it hits us, and we all die.” Me: 😶
I mean we all would die, and the planet would probably be destroyed. (Midway watching, but it isn’t the first time I’ve heard of something coming at light speed- Theoretically speaking.) So like… It probably wouldn’t matter. :/ At that point if you survived the initial thing you’d suffer intensely.

@@paultrigger3798 no worries about being killed in the worst possible way Lol? Instant death from a deadly cancer from destroyed dna that will produce a tumor so large that it will explode you that are caused by gamma rays bursts?
I am an Astrophysics major (although this knowledge isn't from a class), we don't currently know of any stars large enough to create a GRB that are pointed at us and close enough to cause mass extinction level damage. The closest possibility is WR 104, a Wolf Rayet star (basically a star that's so big and powerful that it's blasting off a sizeable fraction of its mass in its solar wind, although there are other traits), which is pointed vaguely towards us and very large, but it's not certain that it will create a GRB (one originating in a high metallicity star would be unusual) and only certain attempts to measure its axis have shown it as anywhere near pointed at us, other methods have found it pointed well to the side and therefore not a threat. Short duration GRB, which are created by colliding neutron stars, would be harder to identify as those are small enough that us failing to detect them is a real possibility at the ranges close enough to be a threat, but those are even more rare, and release less energy than long duration ones.
+Crimson Vale It's a very hopeful style of nihilism. I dig it, but there's a small part of me that wants to help everyone become biologically immortal. Than help create our own bloody universe, and life forever. Maybe one day hit the bar, and meet the kursgesagt team. Have some space pints, and just smile. Because they were wrong. We didn't die. But odds are we won't escape our mortality ANY time soon and we're all stuck here until it all ends individually for each one of us. Making every single experience we've ever had absolutely worthless as it cannot. Literally cannot be remembered. No matter how much we do, odds are. It's for absolute nothing. Emptiness. Lovely, isn't it?

Hello Kurzgesagt! I really admire you and I love the work that you do! I'd like to share something rather personal with you. Something I've been holding onto for about 2 years now and I have to tell you this now. So, please allow me to elaborate so by the time your done reading my comment, you'll know why.. Firstly, I am a deaf man but I haven't always been deaf! You see, I was born with a horrible disease called Ménière's and after me fighting and battling with it for 23 years of my life, it finally took my hearing from me.. I knew eventually I'd lose my hearing before I was 30 years old, due to the aggressive progression of it but during my last year of hearing, I tried so much to listen to as much of the things I loved because the only way I would be able to hear again.. was.. to relive my memories.. My sister has helped me so much through my depression and what she started doing for me - and even still to this very day - she writes down videos for me in my notebook and then I'll try to read and watch the video the best I can because sadly, the RUclips Captions are worthless. That is how I found you. I especially fell in love with you're work because in that field, making a deaf person hear again is possible and I long so badly to hear again. It saddens me that if I ever meet a woman and have kids, I'll never hear their voices.. It saddens me even more deeply I can't here my mom's voice no more or even my dad's.. I never realized how ungrateful I really was with my life.. How I took things for granted and how I long to change my past because now I know, what it means to be appreciative!! You sadly don't appreciate something until you don't have it no more.. I sadly, learn't the hard way. So, for watching your videos for about 2 years now, it has really helped me so much through my depression.. in ways you probably wouldn't understand.. I'm always so excited when you release a new video because, I love to LEARN! And one last thing before I end this, a few weeks ago, my Doctor diagnosed me with Endocrine Cancer but I am still waiting on the official results.These last few years, I was slowly getting out of my depression but getting that news, really.. really brought me down..i don't want to go blind too!! i don't want to die either.. So, I needed to get this off my chest because who knows, I might be dead in a few months, I don't know. I was never one to express my self but all I have had since I went deaf, was the RUclips Community and I am just thanking all the ones that has helped me through this that didn't even know they we're even there for me! I know my comment will disappear with all the others and that's OK!! At least I know I took my time to write this for ya! Thanks for everything and thanks for being there for me, when you didnt even know you was.. goodbye friend. bye bye now and remember, rock on!!
wow! I am at a loss for words! Tis is really DEEP man, like WOW! You have me in tears and my god, Kurz better see this comment! Just,, wow!! I feel so bad. ;(( ;((
You, Sir are a very VERY brave man to tell your story! You have open my eyes to appreciate things more so I thank you and may God bless you that you will get better! I'm sure people will hate on you but just know this friend: You'll always be better than they are!
It is a fact of life. Get used to it. We all might be wiped out any second, one more reason to "make our time here count", to worry less and to enjoy and do more.
“So, there could already be GRBs on the way to kill us all, and we don’t know it, until it hits us, and we’re dead.” *Shows animation of GRB hitting earth and destroying life* *Silence* “This video was sponsored by...”
Now, before we start this video. I’d like to thank Raid Shadow Legends for sponsoring this video. You can buy heroes, collect money, and more. Again, thank you Raid Shadow Legends for sponsoring the video.
Every kurzgesagt video: here is something you didn't know about that could absolutely murder you, the planet, and the universe. Anyways, ducks! God I love it
Ah Yes I remember the good old days when I was eight and I first got into space and science and then growing up with the existential dread that at any time an asteroid could wipe us all out or that a gamma ray burst would delete our atmosphere
Simple, all we need is a giant space mirror. You know, a big giant space mirror, like a wall. I like walls. I like mirrors. I will start building a giant wall space mirror....and make the neutron stars pay for it.
Oh. All life might end almost instantly without warning because of an event completely out of our control. Just what I needed to help me sleep at night.
Don't worry my dude! The atmosphere will absorb most of it, so, when it hits, the sky'll turn white (maybe enough to temporarily blind you) and most of the Ozone layer will be gone. It would take you a month to die from slower causes like lack of oxygen, tumors and sun exposure. So, when and IF it happens, quickly get indoors and you'll only get sunburnt a bit.
Imagine there’s life near a binary neutron star. They’ve calculated when the stars will merge, everyone gathers for the spectacular event, and Than it just turns into a tiny black dot and everything fricken dies.
@TK How? If the atmosphere gets burnt away from the planet, complex life would be pretty screwed. You would have to build a habitat in space and hide behind the planet to shield from the burst, and then... Well, life would suck for a pretty long time while you lived in space waiting for the planet to recover I guess. In any case, not ideal.
Depends on how severe the war is, a small one would only result in things like you see at Chernobyl and Fukushima, where the wildlife is actually lives on perfectly fine (though they do suffer from problems)
+Name I know but I would like to know the effects of a large war, because even tho nukes are the most powerful weapons on earth I and many people know very little of the damage they can make
The bird holding the sign saying "THE END IS NEAR" did it for me. I cracked up spectacularly! There's been more clever stuff before it BUT this really hit the spot! Thanks Kurzgesagt for my meltdown! 🤗🤗🤗💣
Scientist: "Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. My team and I would like 10 million dollars to develop a gamma ray emitter." Congress: "What would be the purpose of this emitter?" Scientists: "Peaceful scientific research and space exploration." Congress: "Sorry but no." Military: "Give me 10 billion dollars for gamma ray research." Congress: "For what purpose?" Military: "BLOWING SHIT UP!" Congress: "Here's 15 billion." Explodes Earth ....
Another tremendous space related video - I always look forward to those! The captivating and entertaining animation throughout is such a fantastic way to get your content across, accompanied with the brilliant narration. Thanks for doing what you do! :)
i love how technically kurzgesagt could get a sponsor from anything and sell it to us in the name of living while we can... "Yeah we could die at any moment because of some space lasers that we won't even see coming until we're already dead but uh... here are some sunglasses!! better buy em while you can i guess."
+Hasan Bora Kaygın well, if you look at the "uncannon" star wars comic where chewy and Han warp drive to earth and get stranded. then doing the calculations, the force awakens takes place around 1844, only about 172 years ago.
This is so timeless, concise but well-explained... sorry for discovering you guys only recently. And thanks for the ton of content! "If Kurzgesagt did not already exist, it would need to be invented. Urgently." Many thanks!
So at any second, like even right now (maybe.... now!), we could get literally no-scoped by something across the galaxy and all life on this planet would cease to exist. Amazing.
Star: "Oh, this is the end of my days, AAAAA" *gamma ray shoots across the universe* "Whoo, probs killed a few lifeforms. Welp, now I'm going to eat everything around me."
This video is kind of lying. The nearest GRB candidate is WR 104 and that is 8000 light years away. Too far to cause an apocalyptic scenario. I'd be more concerned about asteroids.
That's just a survivorship bias. If we're not advanced enough to learn these stuff via smartphones before we're cooked by a gamma ray burst, you won't be able to post that thought and I won't be replying you, either.
@@tapist3482 I love weaponizing logic like this, which is something I only learned how to do and enjoy by happening to last long enough and in the right period of time to have unrestricted internet access through a communication device like the one I'm holding. Granted I'm alive (on the outside) so that should say something about the biased way my brain works
What if... It happens before?? It's just that this is the instance where we able to reach this point where we could understand what will happen if gamma ray burst hits us.. maybe parallel universe is right?
+Mr. Hammers you are not the only one who wants to know. there's already a reddit (of course). I have hitchhiker's on dvd, and the audio commentary credits "shynola" for animating the Guide Sequences. Shynola was a very small crew - 4 people. none of those people are listed as Kurzgesagt team members. I figure it's just an aesthetic coincidence... but... it's possible that Shynola would have used uncredited interns ( 😓 ) and that one of those interns could have taken what they learned and helped create Kurzgesagt. The movie was released in 2005 production could have been occurring up to 10 years prior to release (estimate). Kurzgesagt was founded in 2013. the time line is a little wide but it could be possible. also, I'm really glad that kurzgesagt was (for reasons i don't understand) readily accepted by my phones auto correct system.
dude would give the physics of how the gun destroys the clock, let the police arrive and then say that he was gonna destroy the clock to see what happens
This is the most entertaining and knowledgeable channel to watch if you wanna stay up until 6am with existential dread. But I keep coming back for more ❤
The fact we won't know a GRB is going to hit us until it actually DOES hit us actually puts me at ease. It means that fucking mass hysteria wouldn't be a thing before it hits.
Sorry to disappoint you, but there'd be more mass hysteria than ever observed. The burst hitting us wouldn't kill us, but rather cook the ozone layer. The following few years would cause, well, 101% cancer for every human and anything else remotely alive during daytime, and all of our tech would probably get wrecked. Much worse than panicking about knowing that it's coming and going out of your mind to prepare for it.
It doesn't cook stuff. Mostly... Just completely destroys all of the Earth's protections against radiation. If it's close enough, it would also have leftover radiation hitting the planet after the ozone layer is gone, but I'm pretty sure there are no stars viable to become GRB's close enough to cause that effect.
Not as far as I know. Radiation doesn't melt things after all, and gamma radiation would simply screw our atmosphere up. Now if some gass gets ejected from close enough and hits us... Then it's a whole other story.
Simple, all we need is a big wall to block the GRB's, ah don't worry, it'll be fantastic, it'll be great, we'll make this Earth great again and make Jupiter pay for it, aye.
Yuan Yu Make the Black hole pay for it, all they bring is bad bad photons, rapist photons, drug dealer photons and some I assume are good photons. You know what a photon is? Lots of stuff is done with photons, also some very bad stuff.
Hello everyone this is YOUR daily dose of existentialism This man created a video explaining how gamma rays work, and how we could possibly die from a gamma ray burst. *Entire kurzgesagt video here* That's the end of this video, hope I was able to make your day just a little worse, and I'll see you guys again very, very soon. Later!
Tolga Dat ass 5:30 When the Gama burst is blasting through plannets there's a person with a gem on their head and then afterwards there's just the gem.
Gamma waves cannot go through thick concrete, so being indoors could protect you. The biggest problem would be the ozone layer being absolutely shagged.
+MindMaster107, Gamma rays can go through everything, including concrete. The percentage of gamma rays that make it through are an exponentially decaying function of the thickness of the material (with a steeper decay rate for denser material). If you have enough gamma rays to start out with, there will still be enough gamma rays that will make it through to kill you.
+MindMaster107 Maybe advanced civilizations can quickly mass produce ozone, so that whenever they are hit the survivors can quickly rebuild the ozone layer

Kurzgesagt videos in a nutshell, yes pun intended!
Just realized that kurzgesagt in German means “ in short”. The title of their channel is literally in short in a nutshell
Ah Yes I remember the good old days when I was eight and I first got into space and science and then growing up with the existential dread that at any time an asteroid could wipe us all out or that a gamma ray burst would delete our atmosphere
We're probably gonna end up killing ourselves on our own before any of that happens, so yay?
Simple, all we need is a giant space mirror. You know, a big giant space mirror, like a wall. I like walls. I like mirrors. I will start building a giant wall space mirror....and make the neutron stars pay for it.

Just what I needed to help me sleep at night.
GregTom2 lol dude ain't nobody got time to be scared to die as he said it just won't happen so you should just sleep at night and enjoy life
yes but it will be so quick it wont hurt ahahah
The pain of existence nullifies that fear for me.
Don't worry my dude!
The atmosphere will absorb most of it, so, when it hits, the sky'll turn white (maybe enough to temporarily blind you) and most of the Ozone layer will be gone.
It would take you a month to die from slower causes like lack of oxygen, tumors and sun exposure.
So, when and IF it happens, quickly get indoors and you'll only get sunburnt a bit.
It's not completely lost, just a percentage of it. You'd still die, but much more slowly
I'm here because of the latest chapter of One Punch Man lol garou is such a beast
Moral of the story: Fossil Pokemon were made extinct by GRBs.
Corsola and shellder are fossil Pokemon??
so that's how Galarian corsola came to exist
@Mira Sharp Some of them are based of real animals but Pokemon is not real. IDK if you said this as a joke so I am replying.
@@shamsudeenma1928 5:14 These are Pokémon
@@HypernovaBolts11 They are not fossil Pokemon though.
Imagine there’s life near a binary neutron star.
They’ve calculated when the stars will merge, everyone gathers for the spectacular event, and Than it just turns into a tiny black dot and everything fricken dies.
@TK How? If the atmosphere gets burnt away from the planet, complex life would be pretty screwed. You would have to build a habitat in space and hide behind the planet to shield from the burst, and then... Well, life would suck for a pretty long time while you lived in space waiting for the planet to recover I guess. In any case, not ideal.
@TK feels like a joke to me...
What a good way to die

It's a merciful universe that has allowed us to advance to the point of seeing how it will end us via our touch screen phones.

It's very "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
+Mr. Hammers
you are not the only one who wants to know. there's already a reddit (of course).
I have hitchhiker's on dvd, and the audio commentary credits "shynola" for animating the Guide Sequences. Shynola was a very small crew - 4 people.
none of those people are listed as Kurzgesagt team members.
I figure it's just an aesthetic coincidence...
but...
it's possible that Shynola would have used uncredited interns ( 😓 )
and that one of those interns could have taken what they learned and helped create Kurzgesagt.
The movie was released in 2005
production could have been occurring up to 10 years prior to release (estimate).
Kurzgesagt was founded in 2013.
the time line is a little wide but it could be possible.
also, I'm really glad that kurzgesagt was (for reasons i don't understand) readily accepted by my phones auto correct system.
It's flat design, mixed with motion graphics

The fact we won't know a GRB is going to hit us until it actually DOES hit us actually puts me at ease. It means that fucking mass hysteria wouldn't be a thing before it hits.
Sorry to disappoint you, but there'd be more mass hysteria than ever observed. The burst hitting us wouldn't kill us, but rather cook the ozone layer. The following few years would cause, well, 101% cancer for every human and anything else remotely alive during daytime, and all of our tech would probably get wrecked. Much worse than panicking about knowing that it's coming and going out of your mind to prepare for it.
+Adrenalin844 Apparenty everyone just instantly dies from it, no cooking over years involved.
It doesn't cook stuff. Mostly... Just completely destroys all of the Earth's protections against radiation. If it's close enough, it would also have leftover radiation hitting the planet after the ozone layer is gone, but I'm pretty sure there are no stars viable to become GRB's close enough to cause that effect.
+Adrenalin844 but if there was a star close enough, would we all die instantly?
Not as far as I know. Radiation doesn't melt things after all, and gamma radiation would simply screw our atmosphere up. Now if some gass gets ejected from close enough and hits us... Then it's a whole other story.
Ultimate Animation during 2016!Salute Bro!

@@MariOmor1 Maybe cuz you can't revive a damn fossil?
Perhaps advanced alien civilizations build their cities deep underground, so as to better survive gamma ray bursts and other cataclysmic events.
Or have some kind of technology which uses that energy in their advantage?
Gamma waves cannot go through thick concrete, so being indoors could protect you. The biggest problem would be the ozone layer being absolutely shagged.
Good thing I'm almost always indoors. It'll pay off ;-D
+MindMaster107, Gamma rays can go through everything, including concrete. The percentage of gamma rays that make it through are an exponentially decaying function of the thickness of the material (with a steeper decay rate for denser material). If you have enough gamma rays to start out with, there will still be enough gamma rays that will make it through to kill you.
+MindMaster107 Maybe advanced civilizations can quickly mass produce ozone, so that whenever they are hit the survivors can quickly rebuild the ozone layer
