No, yeah, seriously. These sciencey fellows are pointing a football field and a bit's worth of lasers all at the same point in space - the theory being that, around 2012 (poor conspiricy theorists, yes, that IS when it is scheduled to be operational) the combined effect of all these zappy zappers will create... a star.
ON EARTH.
(but my beloved narrator/rambler, why the FUCK would they not do this out in SPACE at the very least... someplace far away...?)
Great question bracketed tiny mouse - I DO NOT KNOW. (But, I'm guessing oxygen is required to make it work)
So yes. We're building a freaking star on the Earth with a trillion degrees hotness.
Oh, yeah, so, if this doesn't burn us all alive or nuke us in some horrific explosion, the upside is... when stars die, they create supernovas, black holes, that kind of thing. (also, on Earth)
The good news is, if it works, we can make star destroyers, as well as power the freaking EVERYTHING with it, as it will be a nearly limitless supply of power.
(which makes me wonder if some day we'll all be jackin' in to nearby solar systems...)
