As a physicist, I liked seeing the elements that you drew together in this image.  Was it with knowledge that your laser element could be taken as the Michelson-Morley experiment, a demonstration of how light has been used as an important aspect in other discoveries?

A miniature O-scope in the days of HE lasers?

I thihk the composition is overloaded, but has some nice spots.
Some details: The prism on the lower left does not refract the light as we see
through it, the table wood pattern and the laser casing are unaltered, yet it
bends and splits the white light. Something's wrong here. I'm sure it's Max's
renderer.
Laser beams are invisible to the eye, only parts lit by them become visible,
just like with any other light ray (e. g. the light split by the prism).
To make the rays as such visible you need to use an aerosole, like smoke or
fog.
If the candle flame is lighting part of the scene, the flame as such must by
far outshine its surroundings, possibly making some lens artifacts visible.

More here than meets the eye.

The concept is very good. The image colourful and tells 
a story.
