This site is purely for entertainment purposes. No actual knowledge of lasers, photons, or any light-related science will be imparted here. We will not talk about how light is affected by gravity or the difference between refraction and reflection. We're just having fun, okay?
We are definitely not going to talk about laser swords. Honestly, given the nature of a laser... Nope, not going to do it. Maybe we will talk a little bit about plasma swords, but not in any scientific or otherwise reasonable way. It's for the best, because you are going to do a lot more harm than good with one of those. What's even going to happen when you smack two of those against each other, anyway? Probably a whole bunch of superheated matter splashing everywhere. And no way are you going to keep your hands from melting in close combat. It's a magic sword, just let it be magical.
