Seems pretty cool, I wouldn't mind seeing one.

Wow, that would be interesting. Imagine if it kept getting bigger and eventually swallowed the world?

Doesn't sound like you read the article, as it just said they shoot a beam of light at an infrared beam and the light is overcome by the infrared beam. {Unsure}

I remember when this was in TIME a long time back probably like eight years ago? My first reaction, as I just learned about them in school was, "God, how stupid is our government?" I know they're starting at infrared light beams but how far will they go? They're attempting the unknown. When is our curiousity put to rest?

Our curiosity will/might destroy us, like an experiment of a Nuke, and it explodes the whole planet, or it could be like the Hit Disney movie Minute Men. lol.
