In a nutshell, the laboratory hopes to split its laser beam up into 192 beams, then fire them at a tiny target wrapped in gold that's smaller than a fingernail.
The tiny star will emit enough energy to power the Earth.
That is, for the 200 trillionths of a second that it survives.
"It's the most fundamental energy source in nature," project manager Bruno Van Wonterghem told CNN.
Well their you go then.
