It is imperative that the cylinder remains unharmed

Call me when they turn about a meter of light shot from a 30 cm cylinder with about 3-4 cm width into a supersolid that can cut just about any material except for other supersolid light. Bonus points if it sounds like a broken CRT.

If we can make light solid, does that mean we can finally save daylight physically? 🤔

Who would want to touch grass when you can touch light?
