    It could lead to medical advances and treatments not currently known. Maybe this is the precursor to Dr. McCoy's sickbay tools for cures and healings that he and all the other future physicians have been using for hundreds of years in space. We just need to be certain to keep it from the BORG.
    Go, have fun, don't work at, make it fun! Kilt them, for they know not, what they wear. Where am I now?

    What is amazing is that this solves an ages old argument about light having a solid element or not. If light was based on physical matter somehow. There has been speculations about this sort of thing.

    Light has produced a physical reaction cause and effect. My mind is blown.

    We've known light has had a physical component for a very long time now.

    It has been debated that light has a physical part for a very long time now. This view hasn't always been agreed upon. For different reasons.

    This sort of seals the deal don't it though?

    Um, the Crookes radiometer has been around for quite some time.

    Maybe you're thinking of the observation that sometimes light behaves like a particle and at other times like a wave.
