Quantum Snark

A laser works by amplifying light using stimulated emission.

✓ TRUE FACT
Lasers rely on stimulated emission where incoming photons trigger identical photons (same wavelength and phase). The result is highly coherent light, often with very narrow beam divergence (milliradians or less).

🤯 "A laser works by amplifying light using stimulated emission — which sounds super high-tech, but is basically just light yelling “Copy me!” until it becomes a deadly disco beam."
