Popping a Ballon Inside of Another Balloon

The wavelength of the ruby laser is transmitted through the red balloon and is absorbed by the darker balloon inside.

You pop the blue balloon, the story ends. You wake up on your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.
You pop the red balloon, you stay in Wonderland. And I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

reminds me of this infomercial that used to run.
The idea was to demonstrate how good some car wax was.
They burnt up the side of a car that had a 'leading brand' of wax on it, then shot the laser at a different car covered in the new wax they were trying to sell and couldn't burn it.
'cept the first car was dark, and the second car was white. .assholes.

Interesting aside: there's a laser emitting device that scientists are testing for medical purposes which can target individual cells in deep tissue without removing any of the intervening tissues.

Even MORE impressive is that the duration of the actual laser beam burst that targets single cells is as short a time as it takes light to travel the width of a human hair. That's one short amount of time!!!
