⏪🕰 1979 – An employee moves the door of the Rotating Target Neutron Source-II. It was eight feet thick, 12 feet wide and weighed 97,000 pounds, making it heavier than seven elephants. 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘 Thanks to a special hinge, moving the door didn't require superhero strength.

For 40 years, the Death Star superlaser was thought to be something that defied our physical reality. In 2017, the National Ignition Facility found a way to successfully combine laser beams using plasma for the first time EVER. #MayThe4hBeWithYou
