A star is born! Or will be.
In the next phase of pushing science to previously untried limits, scientists are now trying to create a star. On the surface of the earth!
The world's largest laser will be used to set off a nuclear reaction that could possibly birth a star right here on our planet. If it works, we'll have a potential solution to society's energy bursting needs. If it doesn't, we all might possibly die. Or at least, the state in which this star is created.
