The Sound Of Settled Science

1. Interesting. I’ll have to look at the paper when my copy of that issue of Science arrives.

2. That’s very cool, eh Kate? ~:D Something so weird that nobody was even looking for it, but there it is. This is why I love physics.

   1. Something tells me that our secret LASER cannons just got an order of magnitude more destructive … as we “torque” the beam on our target. I propose we do more testing somewhere over Iran.

3. I will put that up there with information that I will never use, interesting but…..

   1. But this will enable a new way of modulating light for communications

4. We ALL knew this could happen – this could be the ultimate purpose:

   1. OT but hey Mr. Film Maker Guy.
      A switch that blows up the earth should be a bit more elaborate and dramatic than that; not look like something that came from Walmart and cost about 1.99 + tx.

      1. NOLD – You must work for the gov’t. Why use a $2 switch, when a $100 switch will do the job…of keeping our budget artificially high! /sarc off

5. Hopefully some other scientists will be able to replicate the experiment.

6. Thanks for this post, but I had difficulty understanding the physics behind this discovery. I think I will wait for Justin Trudeau to explain it to me:

7. So if light can be torqued what’s the effect of using that torqued light on matter? Could that torque be used to create an effect around matter like how Bernoulli’s principle creates lift from using laminar flowing gas over a curved surface except with photon energy? Could be a very interesting discovery. Maybe even something similar could be done with another energy force: gravity. Maybe Man is meant to boldly go somewhere and do it quick.
