Показать описание
Speaker: Philip Lubin (UCSB)

Abstract: Dr. Lubin will discuss how his team has proposed an orbital planetary defense system that is capable of beamed power allowing a number of directed energy (DE) possibilities including planetary defense, propulsion allowing relativistic probes and interstellar communications using existing technologies. Recent developments in photonics allow such a system whereas even a decade ago it would have been simply science fiction.

Honestly, I hate to post a comment like this, because I love the channel, but are you ever going to look into sorting out the terrible audio on the lectures?

Very uninformative.
I was looking for a clear delineation between the De-Star 1-4 and nothing said here nor any where else came even close to out lining whether DEStar 1 was 100 GW or 30 GW.  There a lot of confusion and contradictory information by the media.  He talked for an hour and a half and basically went philosophical.
