Try and imagine how much the Pentagon spends in a picosecond. :-} The Pentagon. Pentagon-supported physicists on Wednesday said they had devised a "time cloak" that briefly makes an event undetectable. (AFP Photo/)

I seriously doubt this is anything other than a unknown property of photons. A behavior that hasen’t been seen before.
They would have to provide a lot of peer review to show that entropy is being interfered with.

Fridman's work was part-supported by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, or DARPA... Not to be confused with DARMA from "Lost" .

I don’t even understand the analogy in the article, where a line of cars stops for a train to go by, and the flow of traffic seems normal to the stopped cars and they have no idea a train went by. Huh?

It’s the old Romulin cloaking device.

"Our results represent a significant step towards obtaining a complete spatio-temporal cloaking device," says the study, headed by Moti Fridman of Cornell University in New York.Moti? Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle Ping

I seriously doubt this is anything other than a unknown property of photons. It isn't unknown, and it isn't new. Isaac Newton got interested in light after buying a prism at a county fair. Seperation of white light into colors by a prism depends on the same effect: a frequency-dependent speed of propogation of light through some materials. Many devices in wireless technology (example: SAW filters) depend on the same type of phenomenon; light and radio are both EM waves (photons).

I just know that my teenage son and his friends are going to read this and then get caught in the girl’s shower room at school thinking nobody can see them because they’ve got a flashlight with a blue filter in one hand and a flashlight with a red filter in the other hand.
“Ha! Ha! Mr. Johnson! You can’t see us because we’re invisible!”
“Go to the office boys.”

This cloaking device only works in the Red Light District on Saturday night.

Pentagon-backed 'time cloak' stops the clock (briefly makes an event undetectable) Hmmm, methinks they're a tad beyond the stated test.
This is probably a concept-validation meme for cultural assimilation and generalization.
Seems open use of time and space cloaking and travel is going to be divulged in the near future.
Kind of like how, from an absolute scintific wall against any habitable planets besides Earth, they no "find" a couple a day. What a coinkydink.
