This is hardly light related…is it? I stumbled upon this video on YouTube and it made me wonder if a light saber was possible. Of course I had to do a Google search and here is what I found:
www.physics.org has an article: Are lightsabers possible? These folks just focus on the negative like
Problem #1: Creating a short blade
Problem #2: Size
Problem #3: Powering the Blad
….etc.
Answers.com had more of an optimistic response
“…The answer is YES. It is definitely possible, and it is even easy if you have the proper resources and knowledge.” (for more on this article click here )
Engineering.com is another downer by killing my dreams with the same impossibilities. To read the thread on lightsabers go here.
All in all the results point us Not to “NO” as the answer, but more like “Not Right Now” …I can live with that.
Well Osama Bin Laden was found and killed, Arnold Schwarzenegger is devorcing Maria Shriver, and the movies this summer look awesome (Hangover 2, X-men First Class, Transformers: Dark Side of the moon) ..so anything is possible.
