Question: what would you do with the most powerful laser in the world?

I would be very scared to use it! It would likely disintegrate anything in its path. You could use it to cut metal.

A groovy thing to do would be to push two atoms extremely close together so that they stuck and become a new atom. This is usually done in giant stars, so to have that same power would be impressive.

My colleague said he would want to write is name on the moon with it, but I’m not sure it would work!!
