The narrator describes his experience playing Universe Sandbox 2, a game where he can harness the power of a focused laser. He starts with a galactic super laser and gradually increases its power, testing its effects on the Earth and other planets. He tries different settings, such as changing the radius, temperature, and wavelength, and observes the resulting destruction and chaos. At one point, he creates a laser so powerful that it evaporates the Earth, and he even tries to laser the Sun, but it doesn't seem to have an effect. He then experiments with a cold laser, which also causes destruction, but in a different way. The narrator continues to push the limits of the game, creating increasingly powerful lasers and observing their effects on the universe.
