|
|
Scientists have created a cloaking device that can reroute certain wavelengths of light, forcing them around objects like water flowing around boulders in a stream. To creatures or machines that see only in microwave light, the cloaked object would appear nearly invisible.

I think that is the practical application. It certainly can't be used as an invisibility suit. |

Actually it is a pretty good idea and if it works then eventually the days of using snipers in a war zone is effectively over and assainations are done up close and personal. That strikes a bell with me when it comes to removing dictators and that riff raff. Then people can have lives and not have the headache.
Pride in ones achievments is a good and noble thing. |

If someone is shooting at me, I don't think i want to be "nearly" invisible. :P:
But it's interesting if they could finally tweek it into complete invisibility.
Is it just me or does this seem kinda like an atomic bomb, once you invent it you can't uninvent it and in the wrong hands it would be disasterous. |

There's nothing good achieved or to be proud of when you're the biggest threat on the planet. |
