I’m not a scientist, so maybe somebody more knowledgable can inform me…

If one of these were to take us out, there would be no warning, right? I know, comforting thought and all, but is that the case?

Sounds right to me. A gamma ray burst would travel at the speed of light, meaning that we wouldn’t be able to see it coming until after it hit us.

You see the problem.
