The Biology of Gamma-Ray Bursts

Abstract

This paper explores the emerging interdisciplinary field of astrobiology, focusing on the 
potential impact of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) on biological systems. GRBs, the most energetic 
and mysterious explosions in the universe, raise intriguing questions about their effects on life 
beyond Earth. We investigate the mechanisms by which GRBs can influence terrestrial and 
extraterrestrial biospheres, the adaptation strategies of extremophiles, and the implications for 
the search for life in the cosmos. By bridging astrophysics and biology, this research offers 
insights into the intricate relationship between cosmic phenomena and the possibility of life 
beyond our planet.
