They did it! MIT and Harvard scientists have created ‘lightsaber-like’ particles!
This sounds like a joke, but it’s not. A team of physicists were fooling around with photons when they managed to get the particles to clump together to form a molecule, one that’s unlike any other matter. And it behaves, they say, just like a light saber.
That’s right. Lasers were used to discover a new form of matter that’s straight out of a Star Wars film. Credit for the experiment goes to Harvard physics professor Mikhail Lukin and MIT physics professor Vladan Vuletic, who blasted photons through a cloud of rubidium atoms. When they sent more than one photon at once, they noticed that the particles clung to each other to form a molecule.

I don’t get it….
This post has been considered humorous by a large number of people on this website because of its use of the “Bee Movie Script” meme as a means for hilarity. The reason it is laughter-inducing is because the initial messager “ceci” questions their friend “caz” on whether they have unlimited texting or not, to which the friend responds that yes, they do, and begs them “Holy shit ceci do NOT send me the”. In the textbox we can see the first few lines of the Bee Movie, and can safely presume that the rest of the script is in that text. The amusing irony in this is that “ceci” is doing exactly what “caz” told them not to do, and the humor is increased by a significant factor because of its use of popular and relatable memes such as the sending of the entire Bee Movie script to someone for ironic and funny purposes.

Make your Wi-Fi password something like, “DoYouWantToKiss.” That way, if you ever have a girl over and she asks for the password, you’ll get the chance to ask her if she wants to kiss you. If she tells you that she doesn’t, you’ll be able to recover gracefully by saying, “No, you…
