Goren, could you explain in detail how a elecromagnetic pulse hole punch can
be made in to or even be related to a light saber, inquiring minds want to know.
Well, I was thinking evolutionarily. So, the first step is to make this pulsefield permanent, so that it could be used not just to punch holes, but to punch. like, a line of holes. If the area of the hole is very, very thin, it could be used as a thin, thin drill or to cut some figures out of metal, for example. Then logical next step is to limit the length of this 'drill' to some precise dimension, so it can be used in surgery and such. It is theoretically possible, and physicists even now can shape the fields in quite a number of ways. Then, it is only logical to mark the length of the "blade" in some way, so that surgeons or whoever would use them could know exactly when they end - I think, making the field to emit some light while working just might be the easiest way to do so. Then all that is needed is to find an energy source compact enough to fit in the lightsaber handle, and it's done!
Of course, it is only my fantasy. The truth is, I just really want to see a working lightsaber
