Chinese researchers say they have made a breakthrough in laser propulsion technology that could one day be used on submarines and missiles. A laser propulsion expert at McGill University told Business Insider they see flaws in the claims. Rather than relying on nuclear or battery power, the scientists say they have found a way to use lasers to propel submarines — known as underwater laser propulsion. This technology has already been used in Russian Shkval torpedoes since the 1970s, using rocket exhaust rather than laser power. "The average overall thrust is low and the jet power cannot exceed the power supply of the laser."

I cried all night long, and then I just felt really, really angry that I had lost everything.

I always say, "Okay, you might want it, but you definitely don't need it." People browse constantly on Instagram or social media and convince themselves that they won't be happy unless they buy certain things.
