Cool...
But.... d'ohhh I don't have the science channel, so... I guess me gots to waits untils its on da internetz... :D
Cool, I do have Science Channel. :-) I never knew. I've been missing out! :|
For me, it's on Tues. night at 7 and 10pm.
Can someone TiVO that for me and burn it to a DVD? I don't have the science channel here either.
Not I. Me no got TiVO.
What?!?!?! I thought everyone had a TiVO. How do you survive with out one? LOL
I bang sticks together and make drawings on the wall with charcoal
Bleh, I watched the clip. Hopefully, thats not the only approach that they'll go into in the show. The whole "it's gotta be made of plasma" approach is just overdone and convenient for carnival science to sell to a TV program.
Michio Kaku, in his book Physics of the Impossible says that light wouldn't work, because two beams of light would pass through each other and light goes on forever (can't have a 36in blade). And since he is basically the authority on sci-fi science that's what people (TV) goes with these days.
I don't think plasma would be the way to make lightsabers. I am not sure what they would be made of but I don't think it would be plasma.
