“The Large Hadron Collider didn’t destroy Earth, so physicists are having another go. A team is planning to build an enormously powerful laser that could rip apart the fabric of space.
The Extreme Light Infrastructure Ultra High-Field laser will be 200 times more powerful than the most powerful lasers that currently exist on the planet, says John Collider, a member of the team and the director of the Central Laser Facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Didcot. “At this kind of intensity we start to get into unexplored territory, as it is an area of physics that we have never been before,” he told the Telegraph.”
