Fundamental Physics and Relativistic Laboratory Astrophysics with   Extreme Power Lasers
  The prospects of using extreme relativistic laser-matter interactions for laboratory astrophysics are discussed. Laser-driven process simulation of matter dynamics at ultra-high energy density is proposed for the studies of astrophysical compact objects and the early universe.
