Subnautica review:

Subnautica(2018) is a open-world underwater adventure game.So, the story goes as follows: You are on the Aurora, when it crashes. You escape in Lifepod 5 and try to survive on an alien world. I've only done 6-7 hours at time of writing, (10 at update) but already I've :

• Almost been rescued (Yes, almost)
• Tracked down 2 other Lifepods, got transmissions from 2 more.
• Started a base, (Now I NEVER have to go to my lifepod.)
• Found out the drinking water is.. Non-Vegetarion?
• Been killed by a crab-spider thing multiple times.
• Watched spaceships explode.

Anyway, I played it on a PlayStation 4, and something interesting: When you want to name a storage container(the equivalent of a Minecraft chest) time freezes and it brings up the PlayStation typing menu, which lets you use the touchpad or motion sensor typing.

7/10, because the game can get boring after the first ten hours or so.

P.S. if you're going to get the game, make sure you view the survival file on the PDA. It's like a guide for the first part of the game.

Science Article 1: Lasers

What is a laser beam?

A laser is an intense beam of light. All the waves in a laser are directed in the same direction and all of the waves have the same wavelength and are in step.

How is the laser beam is produced?

• Electrons absorb energy and jump to a higher electron shell.
• The electron falls to a lower electron shell, releasing it's energy as a photon.
• The photon hits electrons in a higher electron shell, causing them to emit two photons.
• All of the photons are in step and have the same wavelength.

Uses of lasers

• Medical: Lasers can be used in surgery.
• Laser printing: Some printers use lasers to help print.
• Encoding data: Lasers can etch data on optical disks.
• Welding: Lasers can be used to weld objects.
• Entertainment: Lasers are often used in shows, especially with smoke clouds.
• Surveying: Lasers can be used to make perfectly straight lines, which are handy for surveying.
• Material cutting: Lasers can be used to cut tough materials.
• Astronomy: Lasers can be used to measure distances exactly.
• Telecommunications: Optic fibres use lasers to transmit information.

10 facts about lasers!

1. Laser stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
2. Lasers can measure the distance from the Earth to the Moon to within a few centimetres.
3. The inside of a laser is sometimes made of ruby crystals.
4. The colour of the laser depends on the distance between the higher and lower electron shells.
5. The world's strongest laser uses 2,000,000,000,000,000 watts! (or 2 thousand trillion watts)
6. Very powerful lasers can be used to start nuclear fusion. (sort of like making a mini sun)
7. Laser beams (and any kind of light) are made of photons.
8. On some keyboards, the letters were added with lasers.
9. Lasers can be used as weapons.
10. Satellites can communcate with lasers.
