So you believe that a laser on the Earth can power a billion gram sized probes forming a chain to Alpha Centauri. Really kid you need to lay off the mushrooms. What keeps the laser focused and powerful after the first trillion miles where even our sun has no influence? The laser would have to be 50,000 times the size of the Sun itself. But a grant wanting fart from Harvard said so you believeThe "miniature lasers" arent powering the sails kid.I am interested in the 26 trillion mile long probe chain that you believe is either real or technically feasible and I want to know about the power source for the miniature lasers that will be powering that microscopic solar sail and I am especially interested in the method of communication
Being the "owner of Google" you have access to the information that will answer all of your asinine, mocking "questions."
The lasers will be earth based. Or, better yet, they could be space based and solar powered.
As the owner of google, I'm sure you understand the "law of inertia."
There is no need for the lasers to push the sails every mile to Alpha Centauri.
"An object in motion tends to remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force."
Yes, this is entirely possible, AND DOABLE.
Humans will never leave the solar system, but there is no reason we cant send probes, and eventually robots.
And, finally, kid, here is a laser diode, with its metal heat sink. The heat sink would not be needed in interstellar space where the temperature is near ABSOLUTE ZERO. That powerful laser looks pretty miniature to me, kid.View attachment 503677
The sad thing is that truly dumb people like you will fall for anything
