You remember the photo of the giant pencil, I mean the big honking laser? Moddb.com
Well they are going to fire those 192 lasers at this. Not the cylinder, look harder, they are aiming for that little red bead. The beryllium sphere is going to hold radioactive hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium to try to initiate fusion.
As I said, overkill.
Not too many people interested in science eh?
wow.... sounds very complicated.... hate to see the guy who gets blamed if anything goes wrong :]
Yeah, imagine aiming at that thing from 5 metres way with a giant laser.
Sounds intensely epic :D.
Indeed, a very large science experiment using lasers. :D
