Explosions in the universe destroy life on Earth

According to the latest research by scientists, life on Earth depends very much on explosions that release radiation that occurs in the universe.

Gamma rays are the most intense and intense explosion in the universe, caused by collisions between two stars that result in tons of radiation being released into space.

Scientists found that such explosions could contribute to the ozone depletion of the atmosphere. The disturbance of the ozone layer allows ultraviolet rays to reach the surface of the Earth, causing genetic changes in organisms, destroying food webs and can lead to the abundance of numerous organisms on Earth.

"We found that a short gamma-ray burst could have more serious consequences than long explosions , " said Brian Thomas of Washburn University, in Topeka, Kansas. "Time is not an important issue but the amount of radiation released from these explosions is noticeable."

Short bursts can be caused by slight collisions between stars or black holes. According to researchers' estimates, such collisions will occur every 100 million years in any galaxy.

If the explosion occurs within the Galaxy band, the effect of radiation on the Earth will be very long. They cause free oxygen and nitrogen to collide and some will combine into nitrous oxide compounds, destroying the ozone layer. These nitrogen will remain in the atmosphere and continue to destroy the ozone layer until the rain brings them away.

Now scientists are working to find the relationship of the extinction of many prehistoric Earth creatures with explosions caused by collisions between stars through fossils.

The study will be published October 9 at the American Geological Society's annual meeting in Minneapolis.
