The concept is a twist on a spherical cloak of invisibility proposed last year. Such a device would be made of metamaterial, a thicket of metal rings or other shapes that bends light in funny ways. A hollow shell of metamaterial could in principle channel light around its inner space without slowing the light down, rendering that hidey-hole invisible to the outside world.

May 4, 2007 A computer model designed by a mathematician at the University of Liverpool has shown that it is possible to make objects, such as aeroplanes and submarines, appear invisible at close range. Scientists have already created an ‘invisibility cloak’ made out of ‘metamaterial’ which can bend electromagnetic radiation – such as visible light, radar or microwaves – around a spherical space, making an object within this region appear invisible. Until now, scientists could only make objects appear invisible from far away. Liverpool mathematician Dr Sébastien Guenneau, together with Dr Frédéric Zolla and Professors André Nicolet from the University of Marseille, have proven - using a computer model called GETDP - that objects can also be made to appear invisible from close range when light travels in waves rather than beams. Scientists predict that metamaterials could be of use in military technology, such as in the construction of fighter jets and submarines, but it will be some years before invisibility cloaks can be developed for human beings.

That's frightening. Imagine the possibilities of the misuse of such a technology.

Perhaps God uses this technology already to cloak the location of Heaven...

I think it is very possible there are things (demons & angels) around right now that we just cannot see.
Doesn't the bible mention something about us not being able to see all that is around us? I could be wrong, but I thought it did.

Just like on Star Trek. Who knew it could actually be done??? :noidea


Next thing you know they'll invent a transporter so we can all start "beaming" places. Need to be in New York in 10 minutes but your in Florida now? Just beam right up! :rapture You can beam up your luggage too!
