The European Commission has approved plans to build a trio of lasers that will each dwarf the power of existing lasers.The three new lasers, one each in the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Romania, are set to be completed by 2015. Each will fire pulses that reach a power of 10 petawatts the equivalent of several hundred times the power used by human civilization.Each laser will cost the U. S. about $400,000,000.
If this device will really improve science as much as these people think they would, then that is awesome. These lasers seem like quite some work, and I feel like they would take a long time to prepare. Technology just keeps getting more and more advanced!!!!
These lasers seem really dangerous. I don't think that the U.S. should be spending $400,000,000 on a laser. Our country is already kind of poor so I just don't think it would be a good idea to buy it.
