I was watching this show on Gamma Ray bursts and they were talking about neutron star dynamics, personnaly I want to die by collision with a neutron star. They said that If you drop a marshmallow on to the surface It would collide with the energy of an atomic bomb, cool.
Note: Thats death by neutron star collision, not death from gamma ray burst caused by a collision with a local NS.

Considering the amount of supernovas a galaxy-collision is estimated to generate, there will be vast volumes of space where the radiation is high enough from supernovas to sterilise many planetary systems. |

My favorite galaxies, too
Oh well, guess I'll just stick to plain, ol' death. Though diving into a quasar would be fun, too |

I'd like to die from falling into the Big Crunch! Either that or die due to my protons disintegrating, but that might be a long, slow process!

Too many death wishes around here. How about having one's atoms reshuffled and reappearing in new creatures and things that live and exist on future planets billions of years from now.

OK. I think there's lots of time left for some more of it.  |
