      Haha, nope! This is to do with lasers! Generally, you cannot see a laser beam travelling through the air. Which means you have to be extra careful when using mirrors with the lasers. You can accidentally reflect a laser at something that burns easily such as paper or plastic and potentially start a fire, or just create some smoke in the lab!
