Somebody’s looking for a huge research grant. ‘Yes, invisibility is just around the corner — just give me $50 million and I’ll do it’.
“just give me $50 million and I’ll do it”
funny... but true... I give my wife $50 and it disappears
I would give them, oh, a few days before the first several squadrons of Chinese femme fatales to show up at Purdue seeking to be grad students working for the professors...
I don't think it is realy shielding the object. It appears it is just not allowing the reflection to be visible. The energy is still there...just diffused and redirected a bit.
The energy is being redirected. Instead of going through the object, it goes around it. At least that’s my understanding of what I’ve read about negative refractive indices.
It bugs me when they refer to this as a “Harry Potter-style” invisibility cloak. Tales of exactly that sort of thing have been existent for millenia, the one that pops to mind first is Siegfried’s cloud cloak in the Niebelungenlied.
Nope, the Klingons had it first and Capt. Kirk stoled it from the Romulan lady commanders ship by using Spock to romance her. This was after the Romulans copied the Klingon Bird of Prey. Oh, well, yes, too much time on my hands on some days!
Capt Kirk and Spock ran a con job on a lady Romulan Commander, Spock kind of romanced her and Kirk pretended to be crazy as a sh** house mouse. One of the better episodes. I stand corrected also, Romulans invented it and gave it to the Klingons.
I kinda think they're hot, except maybe the Durass sisters. Remember Worf's bride? But then that's just me, I'd probably like warm gotch too.

That will give us an effective shield system so that travel in outerspace will be possible.
We can also shield Earth from excess or dangerous radiation ~ and that could very well be mistaken for climate control.
I am reminded of some of the weaknesses of H.G. Wells Invisible Man. He was revealed by rain or fog, and soot in the air outlined him. Wouldn't an invisible object make the same sort of 'hole' in whateverweather condition was going on around it?
That’s what they always say about Marines too.
“It doesn’t rain on Marines, it rains around them.”
Philidelphia Experiment
During WW2 it was to cloak ships, some say it worked.
( I was referring to Nancy - the pimple on America’s butt - Peolosi)
Bending light around this object would also mean that the light would never reach the object either. So for anyone who's inside the cloak, everything that's outside of it would disappear too.
