science, photons and cats

[RICHARD]

A private company failed when they tried to send a satellite into orbit with a 'solar sail'..

In layman's terms.....

A light source puts out energy in the form of photons.....
small particles of light. The idea of a solar sail is to use the
photons, from the sun, to hit a sail, made of mylar..

The mylar collects the photons and uses that energy to propel the craft.....much like the wind acts on the sail of a sail boat.

Every time I fire up the computer and the light above the desk
Edward HAS to come over and jump on the keyboard which is right under the desk light.

---------------------------------------------------

THe photons of the desk lamp pin Edward, in the same way they act upon a solar sail, on the desk while I try to type.

You trekkies know what I am talking about....

what's more deadly?

A photon torpedo or a photon laden cat???
