Scientists closer to developing invisibility cloak

[slowhand]

WASHINGTON - Scientists say they are a step closer to developing materials that could render people and objects invisible. Researchers have demonstrated for the first time they were able to cloak three-dimensional objects using artificially engineered materials that redirect light around the objects.


Previously, they only have been able to cloak very thin two-dimensional objects.

The findings, by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, led by Xiang Zhang, are to be released later this week in the journals Nature and Science.

The new work moves scientists a step closer to hiding people and objects from visible light, which could have broad applications, including military ones.

I HAVE to get my hands on this thing. I swear I will literally be Claude from Heroes if I ever get ahold of this thing.

However, I already know that they wouldn't let the average joe use it.

Looks like it's starting to become more and more possible.

I heard about this, they said there was one drawback to it.That while You Might be invisible you could also not see anything eithier.

Maybe they could cut holes out in the cloak. Then we'd see eyes floating around in the air like in PacMan. :eek:

Ok heres my question, you put on the cloak, and you walk the streets and as your walkinf obviously no one sees you, you see a really hot woman walking down the street, you would really like to see more of her sand because you hae the cloak on you follow her, she leads you back to her house, where you slip in just before she closes the door in your face.

Now your in her house and you follow her around and trying to stay out of her way so that she doesnt bump into you so you watch her from a distance, she goe upstairs you follow, she goes into her room and so do you, there she starts undressing, which gets you very aroused and you begin to masterbate.

My question is, why the fuck did you just read all that^?

Does this mean that there is still hope for those x-ray specs I bought in that comic book when I was a kid??? They never worked but the onion gum and the soap that turned your hands black were terrific.

Fuck....showing my age big time.....

An interesting bunch of topics we have here on the board these days. More politics and world events than tits.

Cant really complain, tho. There's only so much you can say about tits. But the rest of it makes for a good debate.

I think every thread that could be made about tits has already been posted at least twice, plus all the respective variants and spin offs. Seriously, how many more "Who's got the biggest tits in porn?" threads do we have to stomach before people realize that the thread already exists?

Sweet, I want one. Then I could be like a rogue. I play too many games

 

[YMIHERE]

If they succeed in making a truly invisible cloak, how would they find it?

Actually, as soon as he gets out of the joint, he'll be a 6th-year senior in high school.
