I've watched other "perfect English" explanations of the laser but they weren't nowhere near as good as this. Bottom line, the author did a great job and was forced to use the robot voice over while you're just ignorant and now I just feel sorry for taking my time to write you these lines as you don't really deserve any of this.

      Einstein in 1934: "There is not the slightest indication that atomic energy will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will."
      4 years later in Germany: Scientists split the atom at will/nuclear fission is discovered. Atomic energy obtainable.

      Einstein was not an inventor. In no way did he know how LASER technology works, much less tell anyone how to build it.
      So give credit to the scientists/engineers who actually invented and pioneered this technology.

      The history is interesting. Einstein did publish the theorie about “laser” light. The engineers told him that it is completely impossible to build. Over 40 years later a couple of engineers did not know that and after a couple of years managed to build the first laser. They introduced it to the world and sort of said: “We build it, know you have to find a use for it.”. 😂

    I came here to refresh my memory, but I learned a lot from this video!
    7:55 - You encouraged me to learn about how magnets work
    10:50 - Is that where the heat in lasers come from?
    12:16 - No, this seems like much more wasted energy.
    16:29 - The whole section answered all my questions about laser cavities.
    P.S.: For some reason, drawing eyes on circles made the video interesting instead of tedious. Learned something about didactics, too. Well played, sir. Well played.
