Saying thank you and extending courtesy to someone not yet exposed as a scammer equates to what you wrote? You seriously do have a severe problem with abstract concepts.

I'm also very keen to see the pics of your laser work

You are so desperate at this point, you appear to be left with nothing more than relentless sophomoric retorts. That is pathetic behavior, particularly from adults and those passing themselves off as adults.

Okay!
I admit it!
I know nothing about holograms. You guys got me. But I thought Casablanca being a hologram was pretty good.

People have stated their opinions. Everyone is entitled personal opinion. However, if all people have to offer is nothing more than sophomoric behavior, and if the mods allow it, use this discussion for your mutual admiration society party. Enough-is-enough is already on overload and about ready to implode.

Actually there has been a lot of factual information posted here and even an experiment to help prove a certain aspect of lasers.

Did you check out the pics? I know they are boring. What i should have done instead is make a video of this laser cutting a floppy disk in half or burning wood or maybe lighting a cigarette. Now that would be more interesting!
But i wanted to proove, that without an imaginary black or anti-laser, it is not possible to stop light from coming through the beam. It can not be non-transparent in broad daylight.
P.S. Would you believe me, if i told you this laser is only 74x44x18 mm big? It was an experiment - i wanted to see if it is possible to make it so tiny and yet so powerfull..

Ironically, in spite of a few "day dream believers" (Monkee's reference), I've learned a bit here so I appreciate everyone who has given real, solid, factual information such as Question and deezee, just to name a few. So thanks again !!!

Yes actually the pics were really cool as they showed EXACTLY what you were referring to. Couldn't have asked for more.

Could you set up one red laser and one green laser at right angles so the beams intersect? See where I'm going with that?

Is your power supply in a separate housing or is EVERYTHING in that little box? If the power supply is included, how did you solve the thermal issue from the supply?
You said it was leading to a point.. What was it? I'm curious..

Okay, I'm going to attempt to jump into this thread from a serious perspective. Let me start by saying I have no proof whatsoever and this is only speculation, because as we all know now, I have absolutely no knowledge of holograms or how they work.
Regarding using a hologram as a decoy in a battlefield under fairly controlled conditions (brought up in an earlier posted article) - I think this might be possible. I estimate that the military is technologically about 20 or so years ahead of the public sector. I think holograms have made some big strides in the last 20 years. So if we were to assume (I know - big assumption) that they were 20 years further along than today, I don't think it's completely unrealistic to assume we could fool the enemy into thinking there's a real battletank on the field when it's just a hologram. At least at night. I will quote my source as my imagination.
As for the idea that 9-11 was a series of holograms -- I think that idea is pretty silly. It would simply require too much unproven untested technology, too much timing, too much luck (that thousands of witnesses with their video cameras didn't catch it), and too many things happening in too many places to be successful. There are so many other cheaper ways to go about doing something like this than using holograms - a technology that, even if it is 30 years along, could not produce something convincing on that kind of scale. Maybe a 100 years from now. That will be pretty cool. Complete wars will be fought and we won't even know if they're real wars. Oh wait, they did that in that stupid movie Wag The Dog.
So that's what I think. And I also think holograms need to be regulated by the government because I saw a dog hologram the other day that I thought was real and I thought it was going to kill me but it was just a hologram.

HOWEVER! the poster, citing the general, said that it was probable to use the technology to confuse Infra Red technology (do hollograms create a lot of heat???)
Originally posted by Question
Although, do you think it's probable that they can focus this laser into taking the shape of an actual object, like say a tank?
Originally posted by Question
The reason I'm asking is because, again, according to this thread and the poster that cited the general, said that they were planning on using it in a similar fashion to, again confuse spies (wether persons wearing IR or spy planes overhead) into thinking there was more of an object (a batallion of tanks) when there were none. Kind of how we tried to fool the germans in WW2 with the inflatable tanks and troops (which didn't end up working as planned anyway), only they'd use this laser technology.
