    So if they over concentrate does this turn into an ‘ant in a magnifying glass’ situation?

      Could it be used to break up protests?

        If by “break up” you mean on a molecular level, then yes.

        Theoretically, but I don’t see protests or riots stopping because of light… riots happen in the day, too, and the violent ones are going to be masked up so more light won’t do anything to reveal their identity

          It will be stopped if the protests are vaporized

      Was thinking the exact same thing. Also if this took off doesn’t seem like it would help the global warming situation. “Let’s add more energy to our planetary greenhouse!”

      Surely not. Mirrors are incapable of destruction. Why that would be dangerous! You could burn crops or boil away water reserves. Surely no corporation would so irresponsible!
