Laser Star Model Of Quasars
The laser star hypothesis is a hypothesis put forward by the physicist Y. P. Varshni in 1973 in response to several developments in astrophysical and earth-based research, and his belief that the existing body of work on quasars, or "quasi stellar objects," suffered fundamental difficulties. It states that quasars are hot stars with strong stellar winds which are producing natural lasing. This model is contradicted by the current astrophysical science community understanding that quasars are distant active galactic nuclei.

“The playing adult steps sideward into another reality; the playing child advances forward to new stages of mastery....Child’s play is the infantile form of the human ability to deal with experience by creating model situations and to master reality by experiment and planning.”
