and use maths to work out what the laser is doing ...
that's funny - it should be doing *this*, not *that*!?!?
Reality does what it does. And no matter what we think the maths says, it makes
no difference to reality. Reality couldn't give a t... what we think.

There is a difference between a mathematical description, and what actually
happens in a laser.
The description can not emit photons.
I'm perfectly willing to stand in front a mathematical description of a 10 MW
laser when it is used.
Not a chance I'm willing to stand in front of the real thing when it is used.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
