I understand that you're being silly, but even in this silly theory land how is that supposed to work? While the laser is in a loop it's not hitting anything, and if you let it out it's the same as when you put it in.
- babyent 1y agoYou're right, I am being silly because I am too uneducated to really make sense of any of it. I love smart people who work on this stuff, a lot of what I take for granted is due to their efforts :)
- z2 1y agoI figure it's a matter of stacking/charging the laser in that loop with a lot of pulses, then letting that all out at once? Like, what if we shot pulses into the orbit of a mini black hole, but then managed to unwind it back out into a single direction?
- Dylan16807 1y agoIn that case the problem is you're only charging the loop with about 1 watt of laser on average. It's going to take two weeks just to reach a megajoule. So you can do one really cool shot, and then you have to wait months.
