Trivia

Re two neutron stars colliding. Neutron stars merging create either a black hole or a Gamma Ray Burst. During a GRB, which will last for a fraction of a second, more energy is released than our sun will generate in its lifetime. There is some evidence that GRBs have triggered at least one mass extinction in Earth's past. The energy mostly goes out in a narrow beam like a lighthouse and that gamma ray beam can pretty much sterilize a planet at a distance of 10,000 lightyears.

[pause]
Dr. Nigel Fenway: march over there and push your teacher, how about that?
