World's most powerful laser to tear apart the vacuum of space

The Telegraph ^ | 11/01/2011 | By Richard Gray, Science Correspondent

Contrary to popular belief, a vacuum is not devoid of material but in fact fizzles with tiny mysterious particles that pop in and out of existence, but at speeds so fast that no one has been able to prove they exist.

You have to love those scientific theories that predict you won't find any evidence to support them.

[Larry Lucido]

Maybe get a do-over of the Big Bang? :-)

In conclusion:
Prepare to tear apart the fabric of space - not worried.
Fart too many times - the Earth is doomed.

Amazing...what passes for a ‘science correspondent’ these days, that is.

As far as tearing a hole in the fabric of space ...this thing is to space as a flea is to an elephants ass!!! Only more so!!

[NativeSon]

Ok but when this is done can we please work on the Lightsaber?!

I've been waiting for over three decades now...

A laser powerful enough to tear apart the fabric of space...

More powerful than the gamma ray blast produced by the collapse of a super giant star?

Do you have ANY idea what kind of Tsouris that would cause?

Medieval starts up again Saturday on BBCA.

Also great for playing with cats, giving powerpoint presentations, and annoying your English teacher.

I secretly hope they use it to blast ET back into their own dimension. They ran out of lube during the last anal probe, and if it takes me the rest of my life, I’ll see those Tall Greys fry.

Thanks SeekAndFind.

• Scientists plan $1.5bn laser strong enough 'to tear the fabric of space'
• Finding puts brakes on faster-than-light neutrinos
• Particles Moved Faster Than Speed of Light?
• CERN scientists 'break the speed of light'

Well, if you want to make a TARDIS you have to break a few eggs, er, break a few ... you have to break spacetime somewhere.

I ALWAYS wanted a TARDIS! :-)

[MHGinTN]

I have one in my master bedroom ... but then I’m getting so old that, like a goose, I wake up to a new world every morning and say ‘Thank you, Lord, for another day.’

Are you a Time Lord (Lady?)?

I’m just a civilian, so i was never issued one.

Aim it at Mecca and be the heroes of Earth.

Though the math in this respect is pretty good.

[Condor51]

A laser powerful enough to tear apart the fabric of space could be built in Britain ... the world's most powerful laser being constructed. ... Capable of producing a beam of light so intense that .... a speck smaller than a tip of a pin, ... it could allow them boil the very fabric of space...

Uh ... maybe it's just me, but that doesn't sound like a very good idea.
Or a very sane one either.

free tip for you brainiacs:
Baby steps guys. Baby steps. First try doing something useful like turning base metals into Gold. Or even better, make some Gizmo (Tech Term) that would turn all liberals into stone. Or, pillars of salt :-)
