Pretending Twilight is a universal female fantasy is an insult to women.

Sure, lots of women like it. But 50% of the population is below average. Lots of people like nacho cheese that you dispense with a pump at the convenient store.

Something deserves praise if it elevates; if it just caters to the lame, then it doesn't matter how many tickets it sells--it still sucks.

Again, completely incorrect.

When the person moves the laser, the photons that are currently arriving at the moon do not move.

The photons exiting the laser take over a second to get to the moon, and arrive at the second location.

Take a hose and spray something far from you. Then flick your wrist and aim to another spot on the driveway. It takes a second for the water exiting the hose to catch up to the new target. Same idea.

@wiseguy. If you actually pointed a laser at the moon, you wouldn't even get the perception that the person in the video imagines you would.

If you had a laser beam strong enough to be visible after reflecting off the moon, and you moved the beam from one part of the moon to the other, it would take about 2.5 seconds for you to see the beam move on the moon's surface.

That's the amount of time for the beam to reach the moon, and return.
