The Cosmic Lasers That Form in Outer Space

The video explores the concept of lasers, starting with their invention in the 1950s and 60s, based on Einstein's quantum theory of radiation. It explains how lasers work by aligning light waves to create a powerful beam. The video also discusses the discovery of natural lasers in space, which were initially unexpected but have since been found in various cosmic environments. These natural lasers help scientists explore the universe by providing insights into star formation and the potential for life on exoplanets.
