Still Waters Posted March 26, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2013 A miniature version of Harry Potter's invisibility cloak now exists, though it works only in microwave light, and not visible light, so far. Still, it's a nifty trick, and the physicists who've created the new cloak say it's a step closer to realizing the kind of invisibility cloak that could hide a person in broad daylight. http://www.livescien...sics-light.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted March 26, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Great I want one. Won't hide anything from me but I can hide from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Merton Posted March 26, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 26, 2013 It isn't that hard to hide in broad daylight -- just duck behind something opaque. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Render Posted March 26, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yup, developments are going faster than most expected. Maybe this will finally open peoples' eyes to all the possibilities this universe holds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taniwha Posted March 27, 2013 #5 Share Posted March 27, 2013 This sort of technology is beginning to wear thin. There wont be much to see at any unveiling thats for sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Merton Posted March 27, 2013 #6 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'd prefer a Firebold broomstick with the footbraces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallidin Posted March 27, 2013 #8 Share Posted March 27, 2013 If they ever succeed in cloaking visible light, God help us if terrorists, bank robbers, rapists, etc, ever get ahold of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingAngel Posted March 27, 2013 #10 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Somehow, I felt that the military is behind and silently support this project 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroman Posted March 27, 2013 #11 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Yeah I love to have it so I can go to Nudist beach!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikko-kun Posted March 27, 2013 #12 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I think it's going to be most-used for spying and as a nice situational utility for the military, and maybe for some rich fool who gets it through black market. I bet it's available for public through there in 5-10 years tops. Nukes + cloaks anyone? A nice surprise? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
