A blast of that size would cause everything in a certain radius to be heavily effected by it.

It's just a beam of energy. It wouldn't change our orbit or change the amount of radiation we receive from the sun.

right.

so some star, which might be going supernova, which may or may not line up on the same axis as earth, might shoot gamma rays at us in 8000 years.

better start preparing for that one.

People that say "remind me in 8000 years"...DON'T GET IT.

If it happened 8000 years and 1 day ago at an object 8000 light YEARS away, When would the light be here? Tomorrow.

We can't tell if it even supernova'd yet.

Bye Bye Ozone

funny thing is, we'll probably destroy the ozone ourselves way before that event.

well... if it takes the light 8,000 years to travel to us then what we see now is 8,000 years ago, right? So if you kept focus on the star everyday and suddenly saw it explode... that was 8,000 years ago and you could start the countdown until it arrived, 8000 years later. If it was even headed this way...

anyone ever read "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan? = win.

One thing some of you folks just completely over-see is the fact that this type 1a super-novae could have already happened and it takes energy 8k yrs or more to reach earth.

So that time may be markedly shorter or markedly longer depending on when it 'did' happen.
