Which is a fun project you can do at home on your kitchen counter and has mystified scientists since 1934. Some theories suggest it is a fusion reaction and that there is a plasma hotter than the sun forming inside the bubble.
I'm wondering what would happen if they could manage to compress the light as it formed. Maybe it could sustain the light for longer periods of time or increase its intensity? It would probably be difficult to time a sub-nanosecond compression of this kind, though.
