Even if we don't kill ourselves off as a species.

Death is nothing to worry about for sure. I wasn't posting this to scare anyone. I simply find the universe powerful and amazing, both on it's constructive side, and destructive side. 

It remains a fact that if you like breathing, just like not want to be a citizen of Pompeii in 79ce, you also would not want to be a dinosaur 65 million years ago. That is what I was talking about with gamma rays.

I would LOVE to have been a Pompeiian 79CE!! Seriously - eyewitness to one of the great events of the classical world and a 90% chance of living through it. Who wouldn’t want that?

I can’t disput your desire to witness it, but I wonder how many classical events must be considered great for the eruption of Visuvius and burial of pompei and herculaneum can rank amongst them.  

It is a little like considering the death of pharaoh Tutankhamen as one of the great events in the history of new kingdom egypt merely because his tomb survived unlimited to be discovered intact.
