PlutoniumAcid@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•The most powerful laser in the US recently produced 2 quadrillion watts of powerEnglish6·14 days agoI have a decent grasp of physics but I understand nothing at all about this article. Melp me out, please?
What use is a high energy beam that last for an almost immeasurably short period of time? How can it even be said that it has this power output, in such a short time?
“Zero-POW!-zero” sounds unbelievable to normal humans. No ramp-up? No sizzling out?

And finally, what’s even the point of this? What’s the purpose? What’s the end goal? Why?
many possible applications, including better imaging methods for soft tissues and advancing the technology used to treat cancer
I don’t see how that works out.
Thank you for indulging me. I appreciate any responses.

It’s really not that expensive in comparison, especially when you count the tourism factor which is absolutely significant.
Go to London, or Copenhagen, or Stockholm, and see the Changing of the Guards. Do that on any random Tuesday - and notice the crowds of people that watch.
And, as has been said already, at least in Scandinavia the monarchs have high cultural value and are very well liked, on top of having important roles in keeping government going. They aren’t freeloaders, and there isn’t a huge upper class attached.
