The mere fact that someone could even fathom this goes completely beyond my realm of comprehension.

The real question is: when do we get moving sidewalks everywhere, like in the Jetsons??

Then Hau shoots a yellow-orange laser beam into the cloud of atoms, and the light emerges at full speed and intensity.

What if you just fart into the cloud of atoms, what happens to the stopped light then?

Sorry, I am just "tired silly".
