JW-yes, stimulated electrons waiting to fall down, all fall at once CM-like lemmnigs JW- B- TT-how does photons stick together in narrow beam? JW-in phase B-mirrors on moon? JW-corner cubes B-pointers red aimed at helicopters? CM-green JW-now Blu-ray light, data more compacted on disk, UCSB prof got Nobel prize.

TT-biologist Dr. Hoffman was to see how life in space works JW-worms, aliens will want deworming medicine. freeze dried bugs. TT-should do this w humans.
