    ^She's right. Although this MIGHT from a standpoint be argued as "educational," it is in fact ultimately rather useless knowledge when it comes to everyday life.

    So is 99% of what you learn throughout your life.
    Reality scripted TV.
    Chasing fifteen minutes of fame.
    Fight over fuel.
    Violence in school.
    The youth are as confused as I am.

    I'll answer your questions/ respond to your unfounded criticism/ enjoy your support over the weekend
    I have not followed through with research as intended but will some day.

    If electricity is mediated by photons, then would or could it be possible to "record" this wave of energy onto a disk? Then utilize this wave to power devices big and small such as laptops and cell phones.

    More disks could be stacked to form any amt. of required amperage or voltage,
    controled by a PLC. Perhaps this is already done and I missed it by lack of exposure to such things.

    I do believe that a disk type "battery" would be simple to charge and recycle as needed. I don't know about the ability to charge it with light waves but don't see why not. Music and data are recorded this way. Then retrieved as needed.

    A material to record and store this light is not known by me but, certain metals come to mind and are quite expensive at this time and rare too.
    The electricity to drive the disk would be in place and could utilize electromagnetism almost perpetually.

    All for now,for the sun is shining! edit: after viewing my post, photovoltaic comes to mind. Just a nice way to store and retrieve it. no harm done,really!
