Small reminder we all could go at any time

who cares?
once i die the entire world can get destroyed after me for all i care

pathetic

how about this:
if at this very moment you were given 2 choices:
1)drop dead right now to save the universe (nobody will even know you saved them)
2)live your life as you have as long and happy as it will be, but once you die the universe gets destroyed
which one would you honestly do?

That would be 1, but if everyone is going without me being able to stop it i'd like to go last. Must be the name

you're just mocking your inevitable death

That I'm going to die doesn't mean I have to be eager about it.

then the uh gamma rays cum alot later?...i'm sure its nothing...

Actually that's a good question. I think they're talking about the gamma rays having already hit, but I'm not quite sure.

How fast do gamma rays travel?

Speed of light. They're part of the electromagnetic spectrum that includes light, x-rays, microwaves and radio waves amongst others.

This would seem to make any early warning system unfeasible.

Can they be blocked in some way?

You'd be safe in an underground shelter. But if the gamma ray burst kills off everything above the surface (including all plant life), I'd say we'd be pretty fucked anyway.

Not planning on getting any children? No friends or family? Not much love in your life at all?
