There's a cure for that: study it.

16 megatons? If the BA is right, the Sun produces 100 billion = 10
11 megatons worth of energy every second. The GRB released million million million times (= 10
18) more energy in the few seconds it lasted (= 10
11 · 10
18 = 10
11 + 18 = 10
29 Mt). In other words, you could blow up the Earth 10
29 / (5 · 10
16) = 2 · 10
28 - 16 = 2 · 10
12 times. That's
2 trillion times. Even if the number is a few orders of magnitude off, it is still a mindbogglingly insane number.
