BIG POWER, SMALL PACKAGE: i like thinking small. Stuff we can
  work with. Example: ... let's think of something I haven't
  thought of yet.. hm, ok how about this: Trapping virtual photons
  between electron shells via some kind of intra-shell "shim"
  consisting of... what could do it.. consisting of.. maybe
  neutrinos if we could get them to cooperate... no no. the
  virtual photons would just go through it... .. consisting of
  maybe Fermi holes? No no, too big.... anyway: bounce virtual
  photons back and forth between the "illegal" zone between
  electrons to create a virtual laser for while two ELECTRONS
  can't occupy the same space... photons _of whatever usage_
  *CAN*.
