#40 They seem to think being 1.36 KM away is the milestone. It is not. The greater thing is the laser itself is able to read at all. How to they even give the ability to process information to a beam of light?

Aldrich, Lasers don’t read data discs the same way as what’s shown here. On the discs there are binary patterns that pass under the lasers which is translated into information. Not the same as a laser reading a book from afar.

Roderick,

Not to mention that the lasers don't do the reading in any application. Rather, it sends the "reading" to a another device that interprets that signal from the laser.

Patty,

This article talks about it, but honestly, most of it goes over my head.

But it's not the laser that actually reads the text. They shoot lasers at the text and then use telescopes to detect the reflections
