Plan For Cloaking Device Unveiled
Robotron23 writes "The BBC is reporting that a plan for a cloaking device has been unveiled. The design is pioneered by Professor Sir John Pendry's team of scientists from the US and Britain. Proof of the ability of his invention could be ready in just 18 months time using radar testing. The method revolves around certain materials making light "flow" around the given object like water."

I have millions of venture capital for you my friend. Please give me your bank account number and I will deposit my funds which are stuck in Nigeria at the moment.
Forget the government, I know a lot of this I could do with this. And most of them violate the constition, and morality, and decency, and privacy, and...
will be pissed. :D
I long for a month where slashdot doesn't announce a new design for a cloaking device...
Slashdot: news for Apple. Stuff that Apple.
WEAR A THICK CLOAK THAT ADMITS NO LIGHT. You will become "INVISIBLE" because according to Wiktionary, you (meaning your body proper) are no longer visible!
Honestly, where do our tax dollars go, eh? Eh? Am I right, folks?
You don't have a problem with the bricks into diamonds part, just the 20lb bricks?

AP Wire (2019): In the news today, once again the military claims to have "lost" an F-22 somewhere on the grounds of Andrews Airforce Base (AFB). Said Captain J. Andrews (no relation): "I could have sworn I parked the thing right over there. Last night's storm must have blown the locator-ribbon off the nose or something."

I have nothing to say.
Doesn't this vialate our treaty with the Klingons?

psh, this can easily be overcome by a Tachyon detection grid. n00bs.
Here's a picture of the prototype...

No, it violates our treaty with the romulans stupid!
Romulans actually.
And no it doesn't, because we've got a couple of centuries until we actually sign it.
yea, an invisible tank is great until you get out and forget where it's parked.
Tesla was a genius. Edison however was a overrated hack who liked to torture puppies.
We do not live in the 21st century. We live in the 20 second century.
All they have to do is cover the planes with animated ads and most of us would never be able to see them!
My eyes instinctively ignore them these days if the browser doesn't block them to begin with.

Pretty incredible, eh?
I have freaks! I did something right...
No, not useless. The first guy to invent a fat ass-cloaking device for women will make billions, except in the hip hop community.
That's why you have the alarm button on the key fob.
I'll never make that mistake again, reading the experts' opinions. - Feynman
Just look for where the tank treads end.
yea, an invisible tank is great until you get out and forget where it's parked.
It's disguised to look like two homeless people fighting over a wheel of cheese...
If I knew the wedgies I gave you back in 6th grade would have resulted in this . . . I might have taken a moments pause.
Yes but then my secretly stashed pile of bricks will be worth MILLIONS.
Sorry, teleporters just kill you and then make a copy. A perfect, soul-less copy.
