Real Lightsabers?

[icebox15]

Has anyone checked out wickedlasers.com they seem to be pretty close to deveoping real light sabers.

[Rosbjerg]

... as in laser swords capable of cutting through almost anything?

somehow, and I don't know why, this sounds pretty unrealistic!

[Rosbjerg]

okay then ... why don't you skip to Jupiter for me and sample some of that gas... even better go back in time and make things right..

 

using your lightsaber...

[Karimi]

Well a form of a lightsaber is definately possible, a very very powerful laser but it won't be exactly like a light saber, a laser goes on for a larger distance so I think maybe it would have to be a mirror at one end that could reflect the beam making it twice as strong . Or just a really strong piece material that the laser wouldn't cut through. Maybe like this :

But in that case you cant really stab, only cut.

In the SW Universe, it is said that lightsabers orignally derived mining lasers. So one day, it's probable we'll get those mining lasers. As for actual lightsabers that can slash, slice, dice, and focus light into a sword like way... erm...

Possible, but it's pretty unlikely. Unless they find a way to focus the light into the correct shape - which would require some pretty complicated tech - I don't think it would work.

 

As for blasters and whatnot, well, we're already on the way to those blasters and Stormtroopers rifles, so at least we can look forward to those. :D

Well Einstein's. If it is possible explain how we are going to make a light beam so concentrated and strong to cut through anything as a lightsaber does. Let us all describe and explain how such a thing is going to be made, what materials, how ect. if you so call, think it is possible...

[Musopticon?]

It's not possible to hold that much light in place, at least not in conccentrated form.

 

 

I don't know why I even bother answering this thread. Ynnhh

[Purgatorio]

I know why I am ...to much Vodka make me go . That said it is a website for some {damned language editor <_< } Keyring OMGWTF!

[Lord XAN]

Anyway, we are not going to see those sabers. If they ever will be created. Maybe our grand-grand-grand-grandchildren will, but we definitely will not!!! But i even think... that maybe our grand.....grandchildren will see somethin laike that. Coz think about one thing: did our grand-grandparents dream about PC in their times?

[Musopticon?]

I doubt our grandchildren can brake the laws of physics. Duh.

[Lord XAN]

You think people ages ago thought that someday they will be able to fly and go underwater for more than 2 minutes? I don't think so. They was dreaming of it! And now we are dreaming of sabers... What's the difference?!? I'm not defending opinion, that there will be sabers, but I'm just thinking of fact, that somethings can happen, if u REALY want it! Ppl wanted to fly, and they did it! Ppl wanted to go underwater and they did it too! You even cant imagine how fast technology is developing...

[Xard]

I doubt our grandchildren can brake the laws of physics. Duh.

The closest thing Ive seen to a real saber is the movie props on ebay, but they're just basically giant flashlights that look really cool. As for making a saber, I believe that someday, MAYBE, tech will be advnced enough to shape light and intensify it. And I do believe its possible, but I do not believe I will see one in my time on earth.

[icebox15]

Did anyone actually go to the site and checkout the stuff? Didn't you see the videos of them using the lasers to cut through things and light matches?

[icebox15]

No...I leave that to the professionals.

[x1Predator]

No...I leave that to the professionals.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

good choice. too much thinking can overload your brain.

[DAWUSS]

No. Thinking can only improve your brain.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thinking's hard to do. Why do you think so few people ever try to commit to such an act?

[Krookie]

"there is so much stupid people"?

 

You're joking right? If you're going to make fun of the people on the forum, leave now. And if you're going to stay AND make fun of us, at least type like you aren't in first grade.

 

"...there ARE so much stupid people..."

[Xard]

Hey Ina, don't flame us, or we'll make nice barbeque... from you

 

That's known fact, you should never start to flame forum community as whole, unless you want to be ****ed up and banned. Believe me, I've seen this to happen MANY times. "

[Dark_Raven]

Lets knock off the personal insults.

[icebox15]

It's been two years...two years since I posted this. But now I have to post it again.

Sorry, guys. It is not possible to create a LightSaber. At least not with a Laser. Basically, a Laser is an intense beam of quantified Photons. A Photon is a particle with ZERO mass. It consists of a quantum of elecromagnetic radiation. Therefore, classifying Light a Wave. Waves are more like machanisms for the transmission of energy, which do not do not require the translocation of matter. Essentially, a Photon has a certain probability of being in a given element of space, which can be closely compared to the orbital movements of an Electron around the nucleus of an atom. My point is, obstructing a Laser is not possible without some form of physical interference. A LightSaber stops abruptly mid-beam, which is contrary to the physical attributes of a Laser.

[Rosbjerg]

[rant]Light Ina: since you are being vague, as to whom might be "mentally challenged".. alot of people will, for this reason, feel offended!

 

the morality = don't try to berate people in general .. or in any other way for that matter...[/rant]

Ah concur.

[Purgatorio]

I especially liked the use of the word 'try'.
