"SCIENCE!"?

200 petawatts of power – more than 100,000 times the power of the world’s combined electricity production
I wonder how many nuclear reactors they're going to need.

I could have sworn there was a topic on this a couple of months ago XD

There was.

The Extreme Light Infrastructure Ultra-High Field Facility

That is a badass name

This is great news.

I am against space as a concept in general. As soon as we acquire the technology we should destroy all of space.

George Lucas was way ahead of his time  :cookieMonster:

lets exhaust the earths resources to blow up space
-approved by the UN-

forget YEAH!

LET'S DO THIS stuff!

We need to collect moon rocks for portal conductors, then we can go to space!

On another note:

I have two hypotheses: 1.According to E=mc2, when the beam hits an 'emergent particle' (what chance that in the very short timespace of the burst that it will encounter an emerging -manifesting- entity? ) but if it should, then it will reverse time by a tiny amount.i.e. to just before the button to fire it was pushed, thereby causing the whole sequence to have not happened in the first place.
 And the knob will fall off. (Oh! Sorry-that is the third hyp')
Think on that -Oh Douglas Adams how the world needs you now.
The other hyp' I hold, is that these alleged particles which come into our dimension are the teasers, dangled into our ken and snatched back, by the schoolchildren of a superior multi-dimensioned, yet clownish race of drunks.
On a serious point: Can anyone here please evplain what is the relationship of mass to time?
What happens to time in the (hypothetical) situation of no adjacent mass?
Adjacent to an infinite mass?
Given: Mass=energy/time.
Wow, this guy.... just, wow.

"Super powerful laser emitter was mounted backwards and destroyed..."
I can so see this coming.

You missed the chance to say "tear space a new one"

This is the typical response somebody posts when they don't read the articles posted and only the thread title.

And this is someone asking a serious question, you smug forget.

These "ghost particles", as they are known, normally annihilate one another as soon as they appear, but by using the laser to pull them apart, physicists believe they will be able to detect them.

It could help to explain the mystery of why the universe contains far more matter than we have been able to detect by revealing what so called dark matter really is.

Doesn't seem as bad as they're making it out to be.
