Bert, take a deep breath, hold your nose, go here- www.google.com and
type in 'natural laser'.
Bert, I know you are not a Googler so here's one snippet from the search
results of 'natural laser':

SCIENTISTS DISCOVER FIRST NATURAL LASER IN SPACE

The first "natural" laser in space was detected by scientists on
board NASA's Kuiper Airborne Observatory (KAO) as they trained the
aircraft's infrared telescope on a young, very hot, luminous star in the
constellation Cygnus.

Hi Sally and oc Well I stand corrected if that light is truly
amplified by a laser. I don't have egg on my face for I claimed nature
must be using a laser(yes). Still I 'm glad that I said I did not know
where nature was using laser light. It is a gas laser so that means it
is continuos. Can I safely say "Nature has not created a pulse laser?"
Please don't bring in a neutron star(pulsing) Bert

No, that is *not* what you said. What you stated in your very first posting was:

Seems a laser was a man
made invention (nature does not use a laser)


Clearly, that statement was in error.
