Bliz Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 World's most powerful laser to tear apart the vacuum of space A laser powerful enough to tear apart the fabric of space could be built in Britain as part major new scientific project that aims to answer some of the most fundamental questions about our universe. Due to follow in the footsteps of the Large Hadron Collider, the latest "big science" experiment being proposed by physicists will see the world's most powerful laser being constructed. Capable of producing a beam of light so intense that it would be equivalent to the power received by the Earth from the sun focused onto a speck smaller than a tip of a pin, scientists claim it could allow them boil the very fabric of space – the vacuum. Contrary to popular belief, a vacuum is not devoid of material but in fact fizzles with tiny mysterious particles that pop in and out of existence, but at speeds so fast that no one has been able to prove they exist. The Extreme Light Infrastructure Ultra-High Field Facility would produce a laser so intense that scientists say it would allow them to reveal these particles for the first time by pulling this vacuum "fabric" apart. They also believe it could even allow them to prove whether extra-dimensions exist. ... The Ultra-High Field laser will be made up of 10 beams, each twice as powerful as the prototype lasers, allowing it to produce 200 petawatts of power – more than 100,000 times the power of the world's combined electricity production – for less than a trillionth of a second. The huge amounts of energy needed to produce a laser beam of this strength is stored up over time before it is fired to produce large laser beams several feet wide that are then combined and focused down onto a tiny spot, much like sunlight through a magnifying glass. At the focal point, the intensity of the light will produce conditions that are so extreme they do not exist even in the centre of our sun. more at the link http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/8857154/Worlds-most-powerful-laser-to-tear-apart-the-vacuum-of-space.html That thing looks like the Death Star. That can't be a good sign. Some alien planet is gonna get effed. They also believe it could even allow them to prove whether extra-dimensions exist. Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude...

IONTOP Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 How will this affect my porn viewing experience? Also, what if this other dimension does this at the exact same time as us? What will happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsburySkinsFan Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Yeah, if this works, what could possibly go wrong.....geeze it's like these scientists don't even watch TV! BBCAmerica for instance Primeval When rips in time called anomalies started opening across the UK, dangerous creatures from the past and future began appearing in the most unexpected places, endangering lives and placing the whole of humanity at risk.A crack team of specialists were appointed by the government to investigate and control "creature incursions," creating the Anomaly Research Center (ARC), which was later privatized. Matt, Abby, Connor and Becker do the field work while Jess mans the ARC control station under the leadership of government official James Lester and the mysterious scientist, Philip Burton. From creators Tim Haines (Walking with Dinosaurs) and Adrian Hodges (My Week With Marilyn), Season 5 sees dark secrets bubble to the surface, testing relationships to the limit. As anomalies become more numerous, unpredictable and dangerous than ever before, the end of the world seems to be just around the corner... will the team be able to stop the approaching apocalypse before it's too late? Heck, and if the thing doesn't open up a portal, then we've just shot a massive laser into space, possibly starting an interstellar war! Yeah, guys great thinking!

PokerPacker Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 If god forsaken creatures from hell show up, we'll know how to blame. yeah, opening up a portal to another dimension sounds like the plot to Doom.

GibbsFactor Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I'm starting to get back on board with this mission to Mars stuff so they can do this crazy shat on Mars and send that planet off into oblivion. You know, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say we do this kind of experimentation on the Moons of Mars. What could go wrong with portals to another dimension if they're on Phobos and Deimos?

SWFLSkins Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Shouldn't the people of this dimension be able to decide if this is something we should try? Who thinks they are so smart that this is a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsburySkinsFan Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Shouldn't the people of this dimension be able to decide if this is something we should try? Who thinks they are so smart that this is a good idea? I agree, anything that could potentially open a portal into Hell should go on referendum for a world wide vote.

IONTOP Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I GOT IT!!!!!!! Alright this is PERFECT... This will finally solve all of our problems... Those who want to trade the 4 firsts for Luck can go to their dimension and see how it works out, if it does, they can stay there, those who don't can go to that dimension where we just draft the best QB available and if it works out they can stay there. Instead of these "You're not a real fan" comments, you'll get "Go to your own dimension" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
