This is hilarious!!! My cat loves the laser too, so I hail Stanford as well! You should add this to the cute channel as well. I would, but I do not have the ability to invoke such commands.

Very impressive laser work. It takes skill to know how to get your cat to bump its head into a wall whilst spinning.

Slightly OT but I don't think anything here gives credit for inventing the laser to americans. The title is slightly misleading, but the video says that Stanford faculty made pioneering contributions which is true. Of course a latvian/canadian, Arthur Leonard Schawlow, made significant contributions as well. But hey he also joined Stanford faculty.

Thought it was invented at Bell Labs. Well, the Maser at least...

Also, the Wikipedia article about the Laser doesn't even have the word "Stanford".

Also, Gordon Gould is also widely credited as the inventor of the Laser. He's also the one that came up with the term "laser". Gould was from Columbia University. So again, where is Stanford coming into play here?
