minus-square@pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkEnglish4•1 year agoThat’s the assumption, yes. But if the beams are coherent (like a laser) atmospheric interference would be a lot smaller. The real question is whether the light would be coherent, which I lean towards no on.
minus-square@nicoweio@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish3•edit-21 year agoIt’s not even coherent when the sun emits it. For one, it consists of a large range of wavelengths… And I doubt there’s a way to make light coherent at that order of magnitude.
