    purpose
        - To establish a secure mode of existence based on an ever-expanding dispersion
          through great distances.
    premise
        facing existential hazard
            : see notebook:2021-8-2a
            - General existential hazards that undermine the assurance of security
              on which reason depends.

                  I read only the first, introductory section.
                  (1) confirms the division:
                  "GRBs can be generally divided into two groups depending on their duration and spectral
                  hardness: the short-hard and long-soft bursts with a separation at about 2 s" [p44]
                  (2)
                  "Taken together, the environments [star-forming galaxies, etc] and SN [supernova]
                  associations indicated that long GRBs arise from the death of massive stars and not from compact
                  object binary mergers." [p45]
                  (3) in contrast, for short bursts, "progenitors are not massive stars" [p46]
                     And there's more on origins in later sections, unread.
                  (4) long bursts have "jet collimation with typical opening angles of [tilde]3–10[degree]"
                     But there's more on collimation in a later section, unread.

                  (1) footnote in illustration of supervolcanoes (a hazard):
                  that one may have come close to extinguishing humans
                  "Two years later, Ninkovich et al. (1978) were able to provide more precise data 
                  for the Toba ash layer and its distribution over Asia, 
                  and to date Toba's eruption to some 75,000 years ago. 
                  Toba figured in the 1970s as the largest detected explosive volcanic eruption 
                  of the Quaternary, the last 1.8 million years. 
                  As it erupted after the evolutionary appearance of human beings, 
                  it came to stand for a threat to human civilization, 
                  and stimulated spirited de bates in the 1990s. 
                  Was it responsible for a so-called genetic bottleneck 
                  in human evolution (Ambrose 1998)? 
                  Could genetic research be successfully linked to geological research? 
                  At the time of the Toba eruption, humans had migrated out of Africa, 
                  along the shores of the Asian continent, into the Indian continent. 
                  However, homo sapiens was not yet a global species. 
                  The argument was that the eruption, 
                  with its massive influence on climate and weather, 
                  led to mass deaths due to famine and almost extinguished the human species. 
                  This question is still under debate..." p28
