The U.S. military has handed two engineers $3.2 million to create a Star Wars-style laser weapon.

Lasers are fast becoming the weapon of choice as the battlefield becomes increasingly hi-tech.

Britain is already working on a laser which could slice aircraft like butter and the US has already begun testing the technology to shoot down incoming missiles and drones.

You can see and hear them in space and they travel really slow?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
