Can laser guns exist?

They are impossible, Beason said. A burst of laser light moves too fast from its source for our eyes to track as a unit. Many lasers actually consist of pulsed light, but the pulses flash by so quickly that the eye renders them as a continuous beam.

What's the hottest thing to exist?

The hottest thing that we know of (and have seen) is actually a lot closer than you might think. It's right here on Earth at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). When they smash gold particles together, for a split second, the temperature reaches 7.2 trillion degrees Fahrenheit. That's hotter than a supernova explosion.
