   I meant that about false vacuum decay which is a highly speculative theoretical phenomena in some models of a quantum universe. From memory, the premise is basically that the vacuum of space isn’t actually in the lowest energy state and a single quantum fluctuation could trigger a “bubble” of “true” vacuum to begin to expand outward to all of space from that one inflection point at the speed of light until it encompasses the entire universe. And when it hits us we won’t see it coming and it will just instantly obliterate all known matter and reconfigure it into something else.
   
   That’s the gist of it

   my bad.
   but yeah. it probably happened already but apparently you're right. the GRB if directed towards earth could still cause serious problems possibly death if large enough?
   
   doesn't matter how far it travels unlike the visible light spectrum which can dissipate over distance the gamma wave is going to rape everything in it's path
