Scientists Create 2-D Invisible Cloak by ciphoenix: 11:51pm On Nov 11, 2012 |
The first functional "cloaking" device reported by Duke University electrical engineers in 2006 worked like a charm, but it wasn't perfect. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/11/121111153931.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily+%28ScienceDaily%3A+Latest+Science+News%29 1 Like |

The moment you can bend light from all directions around and over a body, you become invincible. Making it 3-D will be the difficult part though as you can see from the illustration For those having difficulty understanding the concept, Below is a simplified illustration of how the system works So Imagine a source of light as shown on the right hand side of this picture emitting light towards the ball object in the centre. We all know light should travel in a straight line as long as it maintains the same medium and is not affected by gravity. so to achieve the perception of invincibility, an object must manage to allow light pass through it without reflecting (that's why air is invincible). This new material as shown in the ball, allows light to move around it and converge back to its straight path after the object. Basically, the object is able to reflect (in actual sense "bend" ) this light in such a way that it converges back to almost its original straight line path behind the object. Hence the "illusion" of invincibility 3 Likes |

small time 5 3-yr old Yoruba boys go soon invent this cloak. make dem no worry we dey come. |

Wow, psychopaths will now be even more paranoid than usual. . Nice development though, I guess all the big boys of the world have a new toy. Including the dictator wanna be's and aspiring mass murderer's. |

Brilliant invention. . . Would love to see an exhibition or demo of some sort. I have been pondering if this was ever possible. Good to hear it is. |
Re: Scientists Create 2-D Invisible Cloak by Oahray: 1:59pm On Nov 16, 2012 |
Make sense... Its funny how these things discovered/invented are normal in sci-fi movies. I expect someone to come up with a way to defy gravity anytime we please... Wait... I mean, I'd come up with that invention and make Nigeria proud. That's if they don't label it witchcraft or illuminati. Trust Nigerians... 1 Like |

Area_boy: The moment you can bend light from all directions around and over a body, you become invincible. Making it 3-D will be the difficult part though as you can see from the illustrationLet's make it a simple sentence: An invisible object is an object that allows light energy to pass through it without reflection, refraction, absorption and polarization. Examples; Air, Ghost, and me. 4 Likes |

Examples; Air, Ghost, and me. i think in the case of a ghost, its totally different because the inviciblity of a ghost cannot be felt like that of air which can be felt even without been seen. i guess its beyond wat we tink |
