    This is a rather dramatic transition. We've skipped a dimension! At some point in between, surely inverse cube is a better approximation. If not,...

    Ok so what if we send a very-high energy pulse of light first, to hopefully create a very brief vacuum channel through the atmosphere, then send the...

    I guess knowing fundamentally what scattering is would be helpful. In layman's terms we think of it as light deflecting off particles. But that isn't...

    Inverse 4th power is nuts. I can't comprehend a geometric reason why this would be the case. Inverse square is geometrically logical, it's a...

    Space-based solar power is likely to be the distant future of energy, but I'm not sure about beaming it back to Earth. I doubt we'd cause tornados,...

    Hmmm nah. Let's assume it creates a near-vacuum... this is ridiculously intense low pressure in the atmosphere and will result in a vortex of wind...

    Maybe a laser can "burn" through the atmosphere, creating a near-vacuum channel, or at least a linear flow of plasma, minimising scattering. ...

    Good point about a laser not having the play by the inverse square rule. I'd argue this probably isn't true. Even if we can angle the receiver...

    That's based on one being in the most extremely low orbit we can have. Might be a bit too dangerous having a solar light beam generator in an orbit...

    Geostationary orbits only exist above the equator, too. That means that if you're beaming to a location that isn't on the equator, then it will...

    You'd think, but geostationary orbits are a long way out. That inverse square law is going to be a right bastard at such a distance. In the...

    The very fact that Iran fired ICBMs at Israel is direct proof that Israel does not have a space laser programme, if you needed any. You could argue...
