“including better imaging methods for soft tissues and advancing the technology used to treat cancer and other diseases”

Something that “generates a brief pulse of light with a power output exceeding the entire world’s electricity consumption by a factor of one hundred” doesn’t sound like a good thing for the world...sounds kind of like what some scientists thought might happen prior to the detonation of the first nuclear weapon test.

So 2,000,000,000,000,000 watts in 0.000.000.000.000.000.025 seconds

OR 2 * 10 ^15 / 25 * 10^-18 watts/second

Imagine harnessing power on a scale almost unimaginable.

One of the dumbest opening lines ever... and probably thought it was profound.

Let’s see now ... 2 petawatts, 25 quintillionths of a second, works out to the same energy as 50 kw for one second.

Anyone have a contrary opinion on my math?

Its applications are wide-ranging, including medicine, national security, materials science, astrophysics, plasma science, and quantum physics.
And maybe controlled fusion? The Argus Laser Fusion Facility set a record with a measly 2 terawatts. :^)
