I just assumed it was typical journalist ''error'' and they meant that the laser can heat up at the point as a supernova.

I quoted Oppenheimer, because it should raise one or two questions:

Would it really be a good idea to always try out what we as the mankind can think of / can ((in theory) (possibly)) do?

Is it always ethic to do so?

Nuking something with or without intention is one thing, but to unleash some power of even a larger scale than the atomic one , if it were possible, might be the ultimate destroyer of the world.

You need to quote Jurassic Park to reach people with that message now days.

Don't worry.

It's for "peaceful purposes only."

@ Torplexed:

Yes, that scene was epic and perhaps inspired by ethics.

On a side note, the cartoons you come up with from time to time are just brilliant.

Yeah, that looks like my invasive art style. Draw with a heat-ray, and wait for the inevitable earth bacteria to settle me back down.
