But if its pulsed at a higher power, won't it just have the same burning power? or does the burning ability actually increase despite the pulsed beam?

OK, I don't know how easy this is going to be to understand, but here goes... If light appears to always be traveling at 299 792 458 mps no matter how fast you, the observer, are going, then consider this instance. If one is traveling at 200 000 000 mps towards an object, and then a beam of...

I currently have only my DIY open can and a 5mW Galileo(green). I HAD a blu-ray I sold to my dad and then another one that broke SOON TO HAVE a high powered blu-ray from IgorT and maybe another DIY blu.

I wasn't thinking of SenKat when I thought of Lord of the Flies. It was more of the actions of the group as a whole. BUT I'm not going to say any more because it will probably provoke more argument. And as Hemlock has tried to do TWICE NOW, we should just leave this topic

"Physics of the Impossible" is the name of the book. I think I'll do some reading on quantum theory before checking that book out, though. It said you have to have a good understanding of quantum theory and general relativity.

Is there somewhere that I can read about that laser vortex? Cause right now, I don't see how just a bunch of lasers making a nice pattern creates time travel :-[ Also, how does time travel work in the sense that if you move close to the speed of light, you will age slowly while earthlings age...

Pseudonomen137, I see what you mean when you say they have to take the consequences. However, I just hope that the rest of the forum would be mature enough to realize that everybody has different opinions and not start flaming. I'm not calling anybody immature. Things happen. Everybody gets a...

wow, I never knew batteries were rated in mah!!! Do batteries generally say on them their rating? or do you have to find a data sheet for that type of battery?

airy52, you don't know for sure that whoever sent that PM was lying, even though it is very probable. As for flaming and being rude, generally that's against the rules, too. And if I may, that is an activity that not only terminatorz participated in, but you and SenKat also. The reason he is...

It's got to be c0ldshadow!!!! JK Personally, I don't care who it is. If they are ever found out, they will just be flamed to death and then we will lose a member who has over 500 posts.

I can't believe some of you just called out for this person to be banned. If you can't tell, you are doing exactly what he was doing!! calling out somebody to get banned!! I understand this person's want to stay anonymous. You are flaming the hell out of him, and are now asking for him to get...

I might try to take some summer courses if I can find any quality ones... so far the only summer school I know of is VERY limited. The semesters are only a week or two long, and it's ridiculously easy. As for colleges, I'm trying to find one inside of Texas, and was very disappointed when I...

Thanks for the answers everybody! and since I enjoy math and physics right now, I think it will be fairly easy for me to deal with any "hard" classes and all. I'm also willing to put forth effort to make sure I like my job when I'm older (meaning it will be in one of those tough fields). Now I...

Re: Not laser related, but a great thinking exerci oooh FC explained it pretty well! I get now how that tree example does not apply

wow that little necessity of having to calculate faster than the speed of light makes it impossible. The closest thing you could get, assuming you could create that destructive interference, was a dark beam/spot. Everything in it would be darker and maybe just less bright, but it would be near...

Re: Not laser related, but a great thinking exerci How does my observing a tree affect its outcome? I'm not trying to prove anybody wrong here, I just want it explained lol. And as for the cat in the box, I see the cat as being only dead or alive. Its not that the physics are existing...

I've never seen this color, but I'd like a high powered 488nm laser!

interesting! the only way I can think of that would make this work is that all light that hit that surface would have to be either completely absorbed (although this still doesn't create the "void" you were talking about). or the light projected from the laser would have to make the surface not...

nikokapo, are you being serious about that electrical engineering? Cause that is one thing I am interested in. And yes, haha, I've heard that any kind of engineering is suicide cause its REALLY hard. But I figure that if I like what I'm studying, it can't be TOO terribly horrible :D and I think...

Hey, I'm a Junior in high school, and its time for me to start looking for a college. But before I can even really choose a college, I need to think about what I want to do for a job... so does anybody know of any laser related or electrical engineering jobs off the top of their head? I am also...
