The sun at your fingertips. (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/8857154/Worlds-most-powerful-laser-to-tear-apart-the-vacuum-of-space.html)

I thought this thread would be about goatse.

looks more like a deathstar superlaser than a space hole ripper.

wut dat?

Now that sounds like the end of the world. Also, how will they power that? They'll most likey burn out a couple thousand power stations.

This is a ridiculously dangerous question. Don't ask it again.
-
Man, you just know how the meeting that got this going would have gone:
"So, wanna build the world's most ridiculously powerful laser?"
"**** yeah I do! Now, how do we get it past the grant's committee?"
-
Hmm, now if they station mirrors in enough places in orbit that can handle this laser, mayhaps they could shoot down ICBMs ala live free or die's SAPL...
-
page herra, stat!

put those mirrors on the ICBMs

I think I've just discovered my new favorite custom title.

google it
do it at work or shool or in front of your parents.

You'd have to have a mirror capable of reflecting the amount of light that the sun ouputs (or was it 2x the sun?) without breaking. If you can fit those on an ICBM, sure.

Why do two James Bond movies come to mind when thinking about space stations and lasers...
-
Two ****ty Bond movies, too. :p

the issue is energy density, if you have a mirror capable of reflecting this laser, then it can be made of any size.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A ****TY JAMES BOND MOVIE. BEGONE WITH YOUR BLASPHEMOUS STATEMENT

And the grant committee meeting:
"So, wanna build the world's most ridiculously powerful laser?"
"**** yeah!"
Also, of note is that the diagram refers to it as a superlaser, and it will be composed of several tributary lasers. Throw in a hypermatter annihilation powersource, and you've got the Death Star right there.

World's most poweful super laser, check. Now we just need to find a shark big enough to attach it to it's head.

Oh yeah? (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064757/)

The movie was good. The actor wasn't

Oh come on, he spent almost the entire movie in some resort in the alps walking around in a skirt. It was like a pilot episode of "The Old James Bond: Retirement Alps Adventure, The Series". But yea, George Lazenby certainly didn't help matters.

So, because it wasn't your average James Bond movie, it's an issue? And yes I am aware that I'm going off topic, so I'll save this and do this

Not at all. Boring, badly written plot and bad casting is more of a problem for me. Sad thing is I always got the impression that it tried to be an average James Bond movie but just failed in every way. But to each his own, enough offtopic, I agree.

google it
do it at work or shool or in front of your parents.
While I too thought it might be amusing to see his reaction, I just can't help but feel a little bit sorry...
...just remember if you do Google it, one you see something, you cannot unsee it later.
-
Well if it "Tears a Hole in the Space-Time Continuum" I'll take the opportunity now to nominate calling it a Fry Hole.
-
I CALL IT A HAWKING HOLE

Recently... on an alien armada in your neighborhood:
"Captain! That is no Earth, it's a Deathstar!"
"WTF!!!?"

I googled it (I also already knew what it was as well, have seen it posted in another forum [leading to the guy getting swiftly banned])
Just don't click images... or any of the links. Just read the descriptions

All of this speak of Lasers, makes me want to blow an interloper with the GDI Ion Cannon.
So, :lol:

...makes me want to blow an interloper...
:wtf:

All of this speak of Lasers, makes me want to blow UP an interloper with the GDI Ion Cannon.
So, :lol:
That was freakin' hilerious! But I fixed it. That was a W-H-I-Y-L moment. I'm sorry if I freaked anybody out. :rolleyes:

I believe it was his subconcious

Okay, now my blunder has passed.
The way the lasers came together then shot forward in the diagram can't happen. Also, aren't we in a risk of 'opening' black hole? Since they are the 'holes' of the universe.

Yes. We are all gonna die. :)
-
Very slowly we are going to die. Afterall, theory of a black hole is a time dilation relative to where you are to said blackhole. Things will be realtime for you, but for someone ten clicks from you, it'll be days, even months, before they see you get pulled apart like spaghetti
-
As long as this doesn't involve any anti-mass spectrometers, we'll be perfectly fine.
