The AG Laser will generate two independently configurable

will contain a total energy of 15 J, and focused intensities exceeding
1022 Wcm−2 will be reached.
Should bring light to many.

I read that as lots of energy in the input beams, but bugger all in the photon-photon scattered output.

You are correct, of course.
The repetition rate is expected to be one shot per minute.
For weapons grade that would have to increase by a huge factor.

The 10

-2 input beams might make some neat holes though!

Thus, detection of photon–photon scattering will in principle be possible with the AG system operational in 2007.
3 years ago? Where's the results?

You'd take the word of wiki over a professional scientist with 20 years in the field. That's rather stupid even if I think you are joking.

I was 99% sure he was. But since some people say some pretty whacked out things on the web mostly crackpots and the religious, I had to be sure.
Darwin debunked evolution in his own lifetime!
Woah crosspost with the above post, that was spooky.

Yeah, I was assuming you'd seen the bumper stickers.
