UT Austin has unveiled it’s new petawatt laser, “the highest powered laser in the world”, telling the previous record holder, the University of Michigan’s wimpy 300 terawatt version, “Don’t mess with Texas… or we’ll nuke your ass.” (To paraphrase.)
So what do you do with a laser that massive? Use it to justify hiking tuition rates of course!
