The Darkton Theory finally has a practical use!

We need a Darkton emitter in every house.

This is a superior method of focusing sunlight than an array of mirrors because?

There is a black hole for your money at the capitol, and another for truth at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington D.C.

So does this thing actually bend light towards it? or is it merely trapping the light that happens to touch it? seems to me it would be impossible for this thing to actually bend light towards it. I’m not so sure of the usefulness of this invention.

At the point where the shell meets the core, the permittivity of the ring must match that of the core, so that light is absorbed rather than reflected.

Permittivity?

That is a new one on me.

Someone is going to have to explain that to me.

This can also be used to generate camoflauge fields.

The device, which works at microwave frequencies, may soon be extended to trap visible light, leading to an entirely new way of harvesting solar energy to generate electricity.
Uh, yah. :')

A theoretical design for a table-top black hole to trap light was proposed in a paper published earlier this year by Evgenii Narimanov and Alexander Kildishev of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana.
