Well, that's because I had no idea that a buckeyball heated to 150 degrees would begin to glow white hot. Score one for you!
But you know what happens when you plant an idea in my head. Could you configure a buckeyball to lase? Nobody says you need one gigantic laser, an array of trillions of tiny lasers can accomplish the same thing, and be a whole lot cheaper to build through chemical or biological processes.
That'll teach you!
