    I know what it means but… Uh… It’s technically quite wrong.

    If a star does a Gamma Ray burst right in Earth’s path we’ll all be pretty strongly effected.

    That’s not even going over that Earth is a planet and the Sun is a star, both which are effecting us on a daily basis.

    And the sun is gravitationally effected by other stars which in turn effects Earth which in turn effects us…

      If that happens, the debate would be moot because we’d all be vaporized, or we’d be sent back to the stone ages, depending on how far away the star is.

        The dose makes the poison.

        We’re being hit by gamma ray bursts from far far away all the time.
