Re: Light Sabers......

far, far away??

Some serious obstacles - but I would not discourage anyone from endeavoring greatly towards a goal.

The general starting point seems to be that a light saber would be based on something like a laser - which is where one of the basic problems comes in - how to "end" the blade.

Secondly, light does not interact with light that I know of, so the "sword fight" scenes from the movies would not occur in reality.

A thought though - what if the light were just a visual indicator of the blade, but the actual "cutting force" were some other phenomenae of a shorter range nature?
