I have a theory that if we placed a laser of this magnitude on a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit in outer space near the Equator of the Earth and multiplexed digital data onto the laser light and then directed that laser at the Sun, then the light from the Sun would act as a carrier of the digital data and transport the data back to the Earth along with the sunlight, and perhaps across the entire solar system and beyond to other stars as well.
What do you think?
The ZEUS laser at the University of Michigan has achieved a U.S. record by producing a two-petawatt laser pulse, 100 times stronger than the world’s total electricity consumption, though lasting only 25 quintillionths of a second.
Located in a large, heavily shielded facility, ZEUS is designed to investigate quantum mechanics, replicate cosmic phenomena, and enhance wakefield acceleration through plasma, setting the stage for its inaugural major experiment later this year.
Supported by the National Science Foundation with a $16 million investment, this cutting-edge facility is now accessible to researchers across the country, with initial experiments focused on advancing particle acceleration, cancer therapies, and medical imaging technologies.
