found this article on Yahoo today. The first laser beam that can burn as hot as the core of a star. http://news.yahoo.com/s/...tarylaser_20090530082418my my, how our guns get bigger. Camilla: You, sir, should unmask.
Stranger: Indeed?
Cassilda: Indeed it's time. We all have laid aside disguise but you.
Stranger: I wear no mask.
Camilla: (Terrified, aside to Cassilda.) No mask? No mask!

Whoa... WARNING: DO NOT INGEST ANY BOTANICAL WHICH YOU HAVE NOT FULLY RESEARCHED AND CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED!!!I am Teotzlcoatl, older cousin of Quetzalcoatl. My most famous physical incarnation was Nezahualcoyotl, but I have taken many forms since the dawn of the cosmos. In this realm I manifest as multiple entities at a single time. I am many, I am numbered. I am few, but more than one. I am a multifaceted being, a winged serpent with many heads. We are Teotzlcoatl. "We Are The One's We've Been Waiting For" - Hopi Proverb

The previous laser installation at the lawrence livermore institute also managed to generate temperatures, higher then the core of our sun.
I'm a big fan of laser technology; if you can manage to harness something as basic as light, then you're on a high level of understanding some very elementary, important principles of nature. Seeing a laserbeam is like seeing the monolith in '2001 a space oddisey'.

Finally something that i want just as much as salvia darts antrocles wrote:...purity of intent....purity of execution....purity of experience...
...unlike the "blind leading the blind". we are more akin to a group of blind-from-birth people who have all simultaneously been given the gift of sight but have no words or mental processing capabilites to work with this new "gift".
IT IS ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT WE ARE WILLING TO EXPOSE OURSELVES OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO ANNIHILATION THAT WE DISCOVER THAT PART OF OURSELVES THAT IS INDESTRUCTIBLE.

that's pretty incredible! This is funny: Quote:"We have invented the world's largest laser system," actor-turned-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said He must be so proud!

From what they say, it will put out more energy than what is put into it... Isn't that impossible with the laws of energy or motion or whatever... Maybe they'll help some Alchemists finally be able to turn lead in to gold!  Funny that Yahoo has two different articles on the same thing... http://news.yahoo.com/s/.../ap_on_sc/us_super_laserWhy can't the supernatural just be, natural? After all, supernatural is just a term for aspects of nature that we do not understand...

A LASER is not capable of generating more energy then is put into it.
That would aply to the nuclear fusion that it would be used for. However, it would be possible to concentrate energy in short pulses and each pulse would contain more energy than could be fed into it in the same period of time.
LASER's have a high energy yield of round 90% or more, where light bulbs have energy yields of only a few percent (this is one of the reasons why a 5 milliwatt LASER could make you permanently blind while a 45 watt light bulb won't). But yields higher than 100% are naturally impossible.
