Star Wars physics: Michio Kaku discusses the possibilities of building a lightsaber

This is pretty self-explanatory.

Can you build a real lightsaber? Well....NO. I mean not at least by today's standards.... IN THEORY tho, anything is possible. Watch this Michio Kaku video, it is delightful. :-)
In it he explores the realistic obstacles facing the modern-day construction for a weapon of elegance (I don't know about the 'civilized time' part though....) such as this. The end product is a drastically visual difference to what you'd expect but it fits the bill as far as form and function go.

Since this article seems to be lacking in the substance department I think I will add another video the mix along the same lines.....

and for comedic effect.....can't forget tha haters.

Quantum Computers Bia! Check it out... The future is always now!

ANNOUNCEMENT: The University of Bristol is launching a project called simply 'Qcloud' which promises to make quantum computing resources available for all.

     I think that's friggin sweet! I've heard about quantum computers for a year or two now, at least that's when I started paying attention. They still can't do shit compared to their full potential but they've still come a long way (in reality ANYTHING that can performed on/off of/whatever a SINGLE atom is a seriously amazing feat no matter how big or small) and its exciting that this open-sourced project is being launched. NEVER HEARD OF A QUANTUM COMPUTER BEFORE? Want a brief summary from the Jackie Chan of theoretical Physics? (that was meant to be clever and compliment not racist. Just in case you inferred that) Continue reading for more information plus a Video from Youtube's own Michio Kaku
