What highly focused danger accompanies the Black Hole formation in a Hypernova event?
Answer
Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs)
A distinguishing feature of the hypernova event, particularly when it results in the direct formation of a spinning black hole, is the emission of highly energetic, focused beams of plasma known as long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). These jets move near the speed of light and are the most energetic electromagnetic events known. If one of these narrow beams is aimed directly toward an observer, the concentrated energy density far surpasses the general, spherical light emission of the entire supernova explosion, creating a specific, directionally lethal cosmic danger for any civilization in the path of that beam.
