Scientists create light-matter like Darth Vader's lightsaber

(easy, not too technical)

"In the process, the photons slowed down enough to bump into each other and bond into molecules."

" And with some work, scientists could make whole crystals out of light."

hmm, railgun firing mini light sabers?

on second thought, gatling gun firing mini lightsabers would be cooler :o

Photon torpedoes, IIRC, were essentially anti-matter bombs.

OTOH, railguns firing lightsaber chainsaws sounds about right...
Lol

Very true apparently as per Memory Alpha

They are matter/anti-matter so I'm not sure why they were called photon torpedoes. The m/am was contained though in a photon tube, so maybe these RL 'photon crystals' could be the basis for such a tube. M/am stored within photon crystals ???

But since these torpedoes are not killing with photons themselves, I wonder still why they are called that. Huh.

Not a bad memoy, for having not looked at the material in close on two decades. P



Bread knives, and lockpicks. And maybe icepicks.

Hmmm. Light-chopsticks.

Might be challenging to learn how to use. Could be hilarious. Lol

How about railguns firing lightsaber-chainsaw wielding ill tempered octopuses ?

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Would need an on-off switch.

This would actually make cutting that Ton Katsu (On) much easier before mouth insertion (Off).

If you're going there, just cut to the chase: Wet-Cat Launcher.* Couldn't ask for more mayhem than that - indeed, I don't think there is a mayhem level higher than that.

Oh, wait. There is a higher level: Double-barreled Wet-Cat Launcher.**
