i dont like the idea of a explosive crystal..sounds wrong tbh (yes i fly amarr )
Lasers are light which is one of the purest form of energy. Shooting very high amounts of energy to anything that's made of atoms will cause either neutrons or electrons to start shifting in those atoms and thus the making the atoms react with each other in one form or another. There's couple of possible reactions, one is fusion of two or more atoms which makes the atoms combine to something totally different or the electrons and lose atoms may turn into ionized cloud in a rapid fashion thus causing an "explosion" of sorts, more accurately a gazillion atomic explosions.
Totally unrelated, the body heat which human body creates is caused by constant combustion in our cells. It's just so small scaled that we don't see it but chemically we all are constantly exploding 
rofl, i didnt read but 1 or 2 pages tbh...
dude, our body does not heat up because it is exploding rofl...its because the sunlight heats up the atmosphere, the earth's surface, and the air around you, and the heat is then transferred to your body when it comes in contact with that air.....
If you were correct however, they why do people still feel hot on a 100 degree day sitting in their house? I mean they shouldnt right? those sunbeams arent making them explode because they arent hitting them directly right?
Biology 101!
Humans live by the energy transporter known as ATP. ATP is created in aerobic situations by the transformation of glucose into carbon dioxide, water and energy. The energy is used to transform ADP into ATP. Each mole of glucose produces 38 moles of ATP, with 2 being lost in transfer into the mitochondria half the time.
That being said, the reactions leading to ATP production is oxidation, the same as used in an automobile engine. The cells break the glucose into smaller compounds, and oxidize various chemicals to create energy vehicles (NADP and FADH2 iirc) to run the ATPase pumps, which lead to ATP production. So it's like a car, you use little drops of gasoline to burn and make the engine run.
That being said, if it looks chemically complex, it is, and when it is, it makes heat. A lot of the potential energy of glucose is lost to heat, so much that only your baseline metabolism would be enough, without heat regulation, to make your body temperature go up 1.1ŚC every hour!!!
In conclusion, the human body does not heat up because of the environment: more often that not, it is our body that heat by convection, radiation and evaporation into nature. Direct physical contact with air results in 2 % of the heat exchange of our bodies.
Any deregulations of homeostasis can lead to hypothermia or hyperthermia, leading to the catastrophic life-threatening heat stroke, but I'll stop now :)
P.-S. Not sure that I gave the exact terms, and my book is 178 km away, so no, I will not go and get it.
P.-P.-S. I still reiterate that Amarr need to become tank gods :p
