How do I know for a fact this is bull shit?

That "laser" is bent ~60 degrees. This could not possibly be due to gravitational lensing.

The sun bends star light by about 2 degrees (this is one of the comfirmations of general relativity). To warp space by enough to bend light 60 degrees in less than 20 cm you would have to have a gravitional field so strong that it couldn't help but create a singularity. Or at the very least destroy everything in an absoloutly massive radius.

Oh and of course there is the whole conservation of energy thing which kind of implies that to artificially create a gravititional field you would need to supply the same amount of energy as is in a mass that would create that field. i.e. E=mc^2.

There is honestly no way of generating that kind of power. Hydrogen bombs are nothing compared to this. Hell, the energy stored in the ocean/atmosphere is nothing compared to this.

It just makes no sense.
