How to Blow Up a Planet
Ep. 3) Could a real life death star ever actually be built? Dr Michio Kaku thinks so. Fellow
astrophysics professor Stephen Thorsett reveals that out in deep space a devastating gamma ray
burster is pointing right at Planet Earth. Kaku believes that an advanced civilization might be able
to manipulate these bursters and beam destruction onto whatever planet they liked. He visits the
world's biggest laser at the National Ignition Facility in Livermore California and sees how fusion
power might one day provide enough energy to power a laser that could destroy a planet, just like
the death star in Star Wars.
