Can a laser shoot down a missile?

Airplanes With Lasers Won’t Be Shooting Down Ballistic Missiles Anytime Soon. For now, the action in airborne lasers appears limited to the Air Force Research Laboratory’s [+]

Are blasters possible?

Of course a blaster is possible, but it is important that you understand that a blaster is not a “laser”. A blaster generates and propels a quantity of superheated and ionized gas contained enclosed within a temporary particle shield.

Can laser kill humans?

Bullets are lethal when they damage a vital organ (like the heart or the brain) or when they cause rapid blood loss. Most likely, a laser of this type would not easily be able to go deep enough to affect a vital organ. Plus, the laser would will be self-cauterizing, with the heat sealing off blood vessels.

Is plasma attracted to magnets?

Like iron filings in the presence of a magnet, particles in the plasma will follow magnetic field lines. The magnetic field acts as a recipient that is not affected by heat like an ordinary solid container.

What are the 26 states of matter?

The classical states of matter are usually summarised as: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma….Here is the list I will provide:

Solid.
Liquid.
Gas.
Plasma.
Bose-Einstein Condensate.
Excitonium.
Degenerate Matter.
Photonic Matter.

Is water the only liquid?

Water is, by far, the most common liquid on Earth. The density of a liquid is usually close to that of a solid, and much higher than in a gas. Therefore, liquid and solid are both termed condensed matter. On the other hand, as liquids and gases share the ability to flow, they are both called fluids.

Is dark matter exotic matter?

One leading hypothesis is that dark matter consists of exotic particles that don’t interact with normal matter or light but that still exert a gravitational pull. Several scientific groups, including one at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, are currently working to generate dark matter particles for study in the lab.

Is dark matter everywhere?

As of now, the existence of any dark matter in the solar system remains as mysterious as its presence everywhere else.

Does dark matter exist?

Because dark matter has not yet been observed directly, if it exists, it must barely interact with ordinary baryonic matter and radiation, except through gravity. Most dark matter is thought to be non-baryonic in nature; it may be composed of some as-yet undiscovered subatomic particles.

How is space expanding?

When scientists talk about the expanding universe, they mean that it has been growing ever since its beginning with the Big Bang. The galaxies outside of our own are moving away from us, and the ones that are farthest away are moving the fastest.

Can you collect dark matter?

Because dark matter doesn’t interact with normal matter (mostly) but passes right through it, you wouldn’t have any difficulty collecting it in a specific volume of space; it would always be there as you moved through the galaxy.

Is there anti dark matter?

According to the CPT theorem, for every particle there is an anti-particle with the same mass and spin, but opposite charge(s). Since dark matter is electrically neutral, it is possible that the dark matter particle is its own anti-particle.

Is dark matter an energy source?

Roughly 80% of the mass of the universe is made up of material that scientists cannot directly observe. Known as dark matter, this bizarre ingredient does not emit light or energy.
