1 laser isn't enough; 10 lasers combining into a single super-laser aren't enough; we need 10 super lasers combined (from 10 lasers each) to form an ultima-laser.

Here's what i have in mind:


The Star Wars Death Stars were under-achievers.

EDIT:
Screw that. If it's worth overdoing it, it's worth over-overdoing it.

We need 10 ultima-lasers to be certain, forming the God's Laser Pen.

EDIT EDIT:
Then again, I think God would suggest making 9 more of His laser pens, and combine them together to make him a laser flashlight. He can blind the Devil from dimensions away for the hell of it.

We can go beyond the impossible and combine 10 GL-Flashlights  and make Him a light saber that can nuke universes.

The first thing I thought when seeing that image was fractal lasers.

Personally I think fractal lasers would be more awesome.

I don't think you understand. There shouldn't be anything below the vacuum. That's the end. We will have truly ripped a hole into nothing. Which, for our sake, hopefully does not create a black hole or something equally horrible.

Well. Since we rip open a hole of nothing and find a large amount of mass inside.

Well. I think that would be awesome.

The first three times I read that as "God's laser penis".

It's called dirt, dust, grime, and hair.

Vacuums are normally filled with it.

Resonance cascade in 10... 9... 8...

Yo dawg, I heard you like lasers...


Is it just me or is science (especially high-energy physics) getting more and more adventurous lately? Let me guess...the first test is scheduled for December 2012? Maybe this is just a cover story and they're going to use this to blast Nibiru.

You know... between Obama's desire to "travel to asteroids" and Europe's giant death lasers... I'm getting the feeling that maybe we have a giant rock heading towards us that nobody wants to mention to the public.


EDIT: Read the entire thread looking for a reference to it, and I missed the one in the post right above mine. I'm an idiot. Although I was thinking more asteroid than planetary in size.

[scriver]

I don't understand.

I'm scared.

[Roboboy33]

Prototypes? There making prototype rip-your-universe-open-and-hopefully-dont-die lasers?

[Jopax]

Well i think i've found myself a topic for my Comm Skills class presentation, I just hope they don't fire it up and obliterate everything before i do it, cause that would suck

I am not much impressed by this project. It will just be some energy (200 kJoules = 50 gramm TNT, doesn't sound like militarily significant) that will be concentrated in tiny space. Experiments on laser ignited nuclear fusion already deal with more energy that is less concentrated and LHC - with less energy that has higher concentration.

"Tearing apart the vacuum" is technically right but on the particle level it is just creating particle-antiparticle pairs with photons. The dominant process could be described as nγ -> (e⁺) +(e^-). Detection of any possible excess of matter over antimatter production will be really hard because of giant background.

On the thermodynamical side the explanation is that effective temperature will go higher than the characteristic temperature of annihilation (kT~0.5 MeV for electron-positron) so it will be like annihilation in reverse.

Wait, Science is having a mid-life crisis? It makes so much sense now.
It makes so much sense now. The giant supercollider, getting into existential questions about the nature of neutrons, and now overcompensating with a big-ass laser.

Now all we need is a pimp sportship! That can ram through asteroid fields without a scratch! AND A GIANT SPACE MEGAPHONE
