MigL Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Maybe it was a misquote, but one of the scientists rates the explosive power of a GRB as just below the Big Bang. Which of course, was not an explosion. ( no wonder we have so many misconceptions ) 1

( no wonder we have so many misconceptions ) She actually was quoted as saying "just behind" with regard to ranking, which is better...though not by much for reasons you stated. Quote was: "If you ranked all the explosions in the universe based on their power, GRBs would be right behind the Big Bang."
