Physicists at Harvard have brought humanity one step closer to bringing the light saber to our kitchen cutlery sets. Of course, the vacuum chamber, rubidium, laser beams, and near absolute zero temperatures along with some other small components. While laughing maniacally, the scientists blasted the rubidium cloud with the lasers causing the photons to entangle whereupon the light began to act as either a flowing liquid or frozen solid. Rather than going down in the scientific journal saying, “Holy shit – eat my science you Yale motherfu**ers!”, Dr. Andrew Houck made a far more eloquent comment, “It’s something that we have never seen before. This is a new behavior for light.”
