"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
Hell a 1W 445nm beam will freak some people out now.
The media is certainly trying to freak people out about 445 too. I hear it can instantly ignite other people into flames now!

I stumbled upon this while YouTubing today and I thought it was really cool and good explanation of DPSS lasers.

Styropyro did an interesting video on it a while back (with lasers in it!). YouTube - Liquid Metal Gallium Alloy - Looks like Mercury!

I don't even think "hip" is.

yeah i just like mercury, even though my last name is Steele (steel) i should like iron (Fe) four times over. i know there are other liquid metals, but mercury is just such a curious goop. and really flames maybe we should tell ABC or CBS about that. lol.
 
My favorite element is sodium. Some years ago I had a pound of sodium with whom I made several nice experiments :)
 
Mercury is the reason all efficient lighting works (aside from LEDs or low-pressure sodium lamps, if you count them) The liquid property is neat, but has few applications.

What?

Man, I can't understand anything you type. What is this about flames?

its a joke, my last name being Steele, referring to steel, with is Fe4, four atoms of iron. and the flames reference was to HaloBlu saying that 445 can instantly ignite people, so i told him to go tell ABC or some big news station. hell sometimes i can barely understand anythong i type.
