Once we learn the secrets, then we can vaporize ourselves with the first test project. OR, flash roast an Ox in .03 seconds. Whichever is more practical.
Lasers, quantum levitation, antimatter...
Next thing you know, we'll be visited by space hippies with pointy ears. Live long and prosper!

All I can think is how long before someone tries to bolt one to a tank?
Might take a while to miniatursie it enough, but laser tank brigades? Terrifying and awesome and camp all at the same time.
Oh Captain they're coming straight for us! Quick hit him with your laser beams!

Ok first, if they were gonna point it at the Sun, they'd have to build a satellite to mount it on first, cos getting through the ozone layer would be to much of a hassle (Hell, for all I know, it could IGNITE the damn thing).
Second, pointing at OUR sun would be extremely stupid. If we were to cause our own stars processes to go out of balance by even a little, we could kill everyone on Earth relatively quickly, and that's no use to anyone.
Third, this is being used to make PLASMA. Think a little bigger than laser guns guys. Think fucking PLASMA THROWERS. Or, failing that, plasma rifles. Those are probably going to be a little easier to make than focusing these beams enough to kill people with a single shot.

wrong, wrong and what?chinlamp said:
1. they re not pointing it at the sun.
2. even if they did, the laser heats things up to the temperature of a few layers into the sun, and doesnt do it to more than that. the sun is huge. if they shot at it, the most they would do in comparison, would be like burning one virus cell off your skin. its that fucking insignificant.
3. what?
I wonder if it takes as long to charge as the Kamehame Wave. *drum rimshot*
But seriously, if you cut yourself while reading this topic, you may have noticed that your blood is pure gasoline. That's supposed to happen. We've been pointing an invisible laser at you that's supposed to turn your blood into gasoline, so that just means it's working. *drum rimshot*
But seriously, seriously. Cave Johnson was 100% correct when he said "Science isn't about why, it's about why not! WHY is so much of our science dangerous? Why not marry safe science if you love it so much?!"
I mean come on, we built a frickin' laser more powerful than any other one on the planet just so we can shoot stuff so we can see what would happen to said stuff if it was hurled into the sun (at least that's my understanding based on the article). To the question of "Why are we doing this?" The answer, as the late, great Mr. Johnson would likely say: "Why the hell not?"

How long till a 'tash twiddling megalomaniac captures it with an army of hired goons and holds the eastern seaboard hostage?
I'm stuck on the phrase "solid plasma" right now. Does that sound like lightsaber technology to anyone else besides me?
