Lightsabers!!!!!

The tittle sounds so cool. Lightsabers! Real, actual lightsabers that you can touch (but really shouldn't). But, alas, as with all scientific news, the tittle should be "Lightsabers! (kind of)". Because if you read the original 'Nature' article, you can see how what scientists actually did was create a medium where two photons (the particles light is made of) bonded. Just two. Party pooper, I know.

But given enough time, we will have our lightsabers! If they will be able to do all the stuff that they do in the movies is another story, but personally I will be satisfied if we get the 'FWOOOM' sound.

What really excites me though are the endless possibilities this opens up. We could make buildings out of light. Skittles would have to change its slogan since we would be able to literally taste the rainbow.

We could have light sculptures like in the Asimov short story 'Light Verse'. And so much more that I can't think of yet. I can't wait for the future!

PS: I wrote this weeks ago and forgot to publish it. The 'Draft' signal could be a little more flashy.

The premiere is (finally) here!

I couldn't go to today's final class, so this is the first time my video will see the light. Behold!
