While I was writing my recent fever dream inspired article, "Optical Micro-Particle Shield Array (OMPSA) for Advanced Spacecraft Protection in Orbital and Deep-Space Environments", which deals with the application of photon traps to manipulate lattices of micro particles in order to create force fields, it occurred to me that the same underlying technology could just as easily be applied to other core "Sci-Fi" technologies:

- Force Fields - Tractor Beams - Cloaking Technology - Reconfigurable Matter

Freaking lasers solve for basically 4 out of 5 Star Trek technologies!!! Basically the only thing that is missing is the transporter. And I wouldn't be surprised if lasers somehow solve for that too, but for now I wanted to write an overview of how these foundational technologies are imminently possible.
