seriously, i didn't think i'd ever be able to see out of my right eye againand that was after the agony of prising it open! Can you wear safety goggles and still be sexy?!
Is there a way to take a slice out of a pie and still serve the whole pie? That's what you are doing, metaphorically speaking, when you take a slice of light out of the whole ray. You will be removing that energy that was available in the bit of light you removed by polarizing it. And to check the sanity of that assertion. Imagine you cross polarize the ray; so none of it gets through. That's clearly no radiant energy getting through.
Yes you will die. When and why are in the future, how far in the future depends on what you do to make the event sooner. Among those things is using a Hookah as you describe.
