================

anybody else noticed the irony in they discussing lightsabers and then the guy referred to is named "lukin" which sounds like "Luke" as in... "Luke... I am your father"

Could quantum of light be the original source of life forming molecules....?
====.
Lukin said. " What we have done is create a special type of medium in which
photons interact with each other so strongly that they begin to act as though
they have mass, and they bind together to form molecules.
This type of photonic bound state has been discussed theoretically for
quite a while, but until now it hadn't been observed.

I think they don't create a new " special type of medium "
The cloud of rubidium atoms just a few degrees above absolute zero
can be only in superconductivity state . . . . .
then fired single photons into the cloud of atoms .. . . . . .
they are binding together to form molecules. . . .
What kind of molecules can they be?
In my opinion: only helium II . . . .
? ! ? !
In my opinion:
Light Quanta can be the original source of life forming molecules.

Have scientists accidentally created a lightsaber?
