The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

This is interesting. My graduate work was in gamma rays. A long duration "burst" is almost an oxymoron, because a burst is -by definition- brief. The article refers to it as an "explosion". I think "event" is probably the better term, from a scientific standpoint.

scitechdaily.com - A bizarre seven hour gamma ray explosion from deep space has left astronomers puzzled

Gamma-ray bursts are brief but extreme surges of high-energy radiation triggered by violent events in space and typically last only seconds or minutes. GRB 250702B defied that pattern, setting a new duration record.
