      Oh dear i do hope not… but the laser is huge so i doubt it very much. It spans two buildings and requires 3 vacuum chamber which are each about 3metres in length and 1metre wide and tall. Also it needs to be aligned each day and is very sensitive so if you moved it it probably wouldn’t work… so no running with it even if you were a giant creature that could lift the building up 😀
