Anyway this is about lasers not school. DAMN! So I find myself invited to the laser show by Lloyd Willford, owner of LaserX, the biggest laser company in South Africa, to come and see his laser show at 9:30 at the Guy Butler theatre.
So we wake up all doped up by those wonderful tranquilisers in our brains (my sister and i) quite disgruntled by having to wake up at such an ungodly hour. So we get ourselves to the Laser X truck which is parked right outside Canterbury house and we make our way to the monument.
9:00 strikes and we naturally get the best seats in the house. We get an introduction on lasers from Dr. Eizenberg on lasers and how they affect us in everyday life. This mini intro to lasers was then followed by the laser show.
As one sits on the luxurious seats of the theatre, music starts pumping from the surround speakers and an array of light spills from a central beam from the stage turning the theatre into a dance floor atmosphere. The scholars that filled up most of the seats start jumping up and down their seats screaming and the best part has not even come yet.
Smoke fills the room and the mirrors start doing their thing. Images start floating in the air and the beams become 3D. The atmosphere changes from a club dance floor atmosphere to what one would imagine floating through space in an array of light should be like.
Scholars reach out their hands to 'touch' the beams. It's amazing, it looks as though they are coming in from the big black into a tunnel in space and all present are floating into the centre. It's like a dream, it's fantastic. I'm going into the entertainment industry once I graduate and I must say, lasers are definitly going to be one of the toys that I'm going to be fiddling with. Technology and entertainment...too cool. Science is actually my passion, one of the best disciplines known to mankind.
