Only a true Trekker knows what that is and how it was used.

Light sails were discussed in SciFi way back in the 50’s and 60’s, as were laser propelled space craft in the 70’s.
May be exciting, but it is not new.

That’s easy. Turn the light on at 2 am on someone who’s sleeping and watch them levitate.

I’d just assume to be left alone anyhow.

The findings, first detailed in the online science journal Nature Photonics, already have scientists salivating over the potentially out-of-this-world applications. One could be the development of a spacecraft that could reach the nearest planet outside our solar system in just 20 years. This is why I do an eye-roll when the argument "There can't be aliens visiting us because . . ." arises.
We don't know what is around the next scientific corner and just because humans haven't invented something, doesn't mean someone/something else hasn't either.
I remember reading that scientists in the 1890s said people couldn't travel faster than 60 mph as they would suffocate. In Gen. Grant's biography, he said, as a young man taking his first trip on a train going 35 mph, "We have annihilated space!".
