Team 18 Presents... Everything I Know About Science I Learned From Science Fiction

N a v i g a t i o n
The technology behind the laser weapons pictured in so many science fiction series.
Is there other intelligent life in the universe? Team18 tries to answer this question, as well as debating what kind of technology they might have, what they might look like, and more. Then they look at it from the perspectives of our different science fiction series.
The technology behind the faster than light drives in science fiction series.
What power source will we have in the future? Will it be atomic, solar, or will we scoop energy out of the very fabric of space itself?
What will our future be like? Here Team 18 explores all the possible futures that each science fiction series offers.
Here you can find out about the technology behind robots and robotics, as well as the probability of things like AI (Artificial Intelligence), speech recognition, and artificial personalities.

Laser Weapons - Animorphs

In Animorphs, there is no standard laser weapon. The Andalites use one weapon (the shredder) and the Yeerks use another (the dracon beam). It is known that the dracon beam, used by the Yeerks, "fires an intense red laser beam that brakes apart the body's cells at the sub-atomic level, causing an extremely painful death." This info was taken from Domenic's Anisite - The Ultimate Animorphs Fan Site. Although it is unknown how a laser could break apart cells at the sub-atomic level, it may be possible. The dracon beams fires a red beam and makes TSSEWW sound. Although not much is known about the Andalite shredder, it is known to be one long continuing beam, not a bolt. It is said that the Yeerks copied their technolgoy from Andalites and modified it, which means we can safely assume that since the Yeerks weapons are laser-based, so must the Andalite's weapons be. The shredder emits a green beam and makes a TSEEEWWW sound.
