"To put that number in context, thats 10,000 times the power of all the worlds electrical grids combined. *raises hand*
"So you're telling me that this thing can produce 10,000X more power than you can possibly put into it?"
(math and physics are hard, I guess)

You cannot focus all that power unless you use super small wavelength laser. Meaning you either have to have a small nuke explosion generating gama ray laser or you criss cross beams resulting in phase changes into small wave length

Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.

I think these scientists need to review a few definitions. They cant even get their orders of magnitude straight. SOunds like a 3rd grade science project.

You don’t put power into something. You put energy into it.
if you take a week putting energy into it at a constant rate, and use up half that power in one second, then the output power for that second is millions (I’m not doing the math) of times the power rate going in.

Technically ‘space’ is an empty vacuum.
What is the lazer-light gonna grab a hold of to do this ripping?

Ugh. Should be “Use up half of that energy in one second”.

"

That's what I thought when they were trying to create mini black holes with the super collider. They said the chance that a black hole would grow and swallow the earth was very, very, very small. However, the chance was not zero. And there was nothing practical to be gained, only knowledge of what things might have been like in a fraction of time after the big bang.
I'm a firm believer of looking at life on a risk vs. reward basis, and the reward is nothing but a few lines in a future textbook.
BTW, I just replaced my tag line with your line. :-)

Ill look for the knockoff at Harbor Freight.It will burn steel like a demon but the switch will break after a month of use.

Then completely fail a week later.
As much as I knock HF, some of their stuff has held up rather well.

The problem here is the science
journalists.
