Electromagnetic cloaking in the visible frequency range

I.I. Smolyaninov, Y.J.Hung, C.C. Davis(Submitted on 18 Sep 2007)

Abstract: Electromagnetic metamaterials provide unprecedented freedom and flexibility to introduce new devices, which control electromagnetic wave propagation in very unusual ways. Very recently theoretical design of an "invisibility cloak" has been suggested, which has been realized at microwave frequencies in a two-dimensional cylindrical geometry. In this communication we report on the experimental realization of the dielectric permittivity distribution required for non-magnetic cloaking in the visible frequency range.

This story in particular was always a great interest of mine. The concept was to create a field that would make the ship inivisible on the radar. The legend is that it created a "wormhole" which caused simultaneous time travel. Fascinating!!

Agreed!

I am also fascinated with this story. Thanks, I guess only time will tell.

me too. i've always been intrieged by it. EXTREMELY fascinating. i think one of the coolest
things about the story to me was that when the ship came back, several of the sailors were
fused into the steel hull of the ship. if that alone is true, that proves a rift in the space/time
continuum. did any of ya'll see the episode of "x-files" about rifts (lizards were fused into
rocks out in the desert & stuff). pretty cool sh!t

Me too.
Certainly, something weird happened, but what ?
I put a thread up about this, but it lead to nowhere.
Still, Fascinating!!

Once again i have to wearily ask, did no one just think of asking the Greek navy if they ever found any proof of this tired old chestnut?
(i mean the "Philadelphia Experiment", not the electromagnetic thingumajig technology, which I have no reason to doubt the feasibility of.)

There are really only two main components to this shaky story. First, we have the 1950s scribblings of questionable character Carlos Allende (aka Carl Allen). Then we have the 1979 book The Philadelphia Experiment by Bill Moore and Charles Berlitz, which is almost certainly a work of fiction. If anything, I think Allende may have heard about US Navy efforts to render ships invisible to radar, then let his imagination carry him from there. As for Moore and Berlitz, it's not hard to see they were trying to turn another buck after their successful 1978 book, The Roswell Incident.

Here's an interesting link to a 1980 Fate magazine article with some background on Allende:

I agree its all facinating but I also agree its just someones imagination getting carried away.

It is the idea behind the (Project Rainbow) experiment which is intriguing. Not the claimed effects time travel.
<<< Fan of the UFT!

From what I have been able to ascertain, the USS Eldridge may have been used to test a method of electromagnetic degaussing which the US Navy hoped to use to render ships 'invisible' to magnetic mines and possibly the magnetic detonation caps in modern torpedoes (this was in the 1940's after all). The 'invisibility' became, through retelling, the invisibility we all have heard of, that being invisible with regards light.

I seriously doubt that, if the USS Eldridge was involved in this experiment, that the technology used on it to render it degaussed led to the modern theories behind electromagnetic invisibility (microwaves and visible light).

source I have used before

Of course, you may choose to believe the official explanation is a cover-up.

Thats a good Leonardo read thanks.

i remember a show once that had talked with the greek sailors who had served on the eldridge and they talked about how it had wiring that went to no were on the ship. of course one could deduce that it was from equipment the navy removed from the ship before its purchase but it was interesting to note that the greek electricians hated the elderidge
