Lava vs Lasers: The Ultimate Showdown of Destruction

What happens when you pit molten lava against a high-powered laser in a seven-round battle of destruction? From glass bottles to beans, popcorn, butane, and even a full-on boat, this wild experiment is equal parts science, chaos, and comedy.

We had to feature this explosive showdown because it’s not just about science, it’s about pushing destruction to the max in the most entertaining way possible. You’ll see lava melting through mazes, lasers popping popcorn, and even a can of beans that nearly takes out the lab ceiling. The banter between Kevin (The Backyard Scientist), Science Bob, and Mark Rober’s infamous “X factor” twists keeps things hilarious and unpredictable.

We loved this video because it blends real science with jaw-dropping visuals and laugh-out-loud moments, making it one of the most entertaining experiments on YouTube right now. Watch the full video here and decide for yourself which is the ultimate destroyer:
