AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of a Giant Solar Laser designed to harness solar energy more effectively by utilizing the plasma surrounding the Sun as an optically active medium. The proposal involves firing a laser pulse from a satellite, which would be amplified as it passes through the solar atmosphere. The creator seeks collaboration with specialists in solar and stellar astronomy to identify optimal regions of the solar atmosphere and determine the appropriate frequency for the initial laser pulse. The thread aims to stimulate research activity and seeks assistance in contacting NASA for further exploration of the idea. Overall, the concept presents a novel approach to tapping into solar energy on a larger scale.

It is known that the Sun is a super large source of energy. Only an extremely small part of solar energy is absorbed by Eath and an extremely small part of that absorbed energy is utilized by mankind. The idea is to invent a tool for pumping the energy directly from the Sun staying distant from it. I think a Giant Solar Laser could be such a tool. Indeed, one need to use the plasma surrounding the Sun as an optically active medium and initiate a stimulated emission from the solar atmosphere. E.g. one can shot a laser pulse from a satellite expecting that it will be amplified when passing through the near-solar plasma. I would like to find a group of specialists (solar and stellar astronomers) who can predict which regions of the solar atmosphere should be used and what should be the frequency of the initial laser pulse.

Why are you starting this thread again?

Why are you starting this thread again?

For many reasons.
1. This is a new thread in another section. The initial one was in "High Energy, Nuclear, Particle Physics", not in astronomy section.
2. Here I present a little bit different way for initiating the laser emission, by means of a small laser acting as a starter.
3. Because the initial thread is closed.
4. Because the initial thread did not reached its goal. I would like to stimulate some research activity within the project.
5. Also, I need a help to contact NASA. Dear CesiumFrog, maybe you can help me?

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
