What a preposterous world we live in, where developments in invisibility cloak tech are common enough to draw yawns. Fine, you unmovable automatons, how about a time cloak? Is that something you might be interested in?
Researchers at Cornell have designed, built and demonstrated the first cloak that hides events in time. The process relies on similar methods of distorting electromagnetic fields as invisibility cloaks, but it exploits a time-space duality in electromagnetic theory: diffraction and dispersion of light in space are mathematically equivalent. Scientists have used this theory to create a time-lens [that] can, for example, magnify or compress in time.

We should time cloak 2009-2012.

Will it hide a Republican capitulation on tax hikes?

Big Deal. We’ve been using the time cloak for decades before I came back here to make sure Sarah wins in ‘12. Ooops, I mean, that sounds like a stupid idea, yeah, that’s the ticket. uhhh, never mind.

Cool. I am heading for 1965 with my Sports Almanac. See you all tomorrow.

You want to expand time?
Just sit in on one of my Pastor’s sermons.

You already did that. BTW, didn’t we read that the volcano erupting in Italy has chnged the time of the clocks there by something like fifteen minutes?

See you all tomorrow. Why don't you stop by yesterday, instead. I had some free time between 2 and 5. We can had a cup of coffee.

Can these be made into women`s contact lenses?
To: Flavius
I can do that when I am getting ready to go somewhere. I can turn 10 minutes into a half an hour. That’s what my wife says.

I don't see how they explain how to demodulate the flux capacitance, without which time acceleration, based upon instantaneous nano particle spin reversal could not occur.
I remain unconvinced.

120 nanoseconds is not much of a timeline.....
I was REALLY hoping we could shrink Obama time in office to about 2 minutes

So if this cloak hides events in time, how do they know that anything happened?
