"On the coattails of CERN's success with the Large Hadron Collider
(LHC), Europeans and the world at large have another grand science
project to be excited about: the Extreme Light Infrastructure project to build the most powerful laser ever constructed.
These lasers will be intense enough to perform electron dynamics
experiments at very short time scales or venture into relativistic
optics, opening up an entirely new field of physics for study.
Additionally, the lasers could be combined to generate a super laser
that would shoot into space, similar to the combined laser effect of the
Death Star in the Star Wars trilogy, though the goal is to study
particles in space, not annihilate planets."
And what was the true mission of the space shuttles all those years? And why have they been retired? Mission accomplished?
