    Did you know Einstein predicted Stimulated Emission?

    It wasn't an experiment, more like an aside in a paper about something else. He just figured that if a photon could cause an absorption, then it stood to reason that a photon could cause an emission. Then he just worked out the math. Again, not as a discrete discovery or prediction, just as a method to make a point about something else.

    I hope those aren't on 24/7. You're going to be unwelcome at sporting events and theaters. You'll get your ass kicked at an airshow.

    Her bestie looks somewhat concerned. Probably thinking about whether the Lazer Woman may try the lazers on her. Whoops. 😂
