Scientists Create Cloak of Partial Invisibility

So...release of this news makes me wonder, what is the usefulness of a cloak of partial invisibility?

Incredible. Although it still casts a shadow.

Read the article. It works on MicroWave Light. We can still see it because we see other kinds of light besides MicroWave. That simple.

It's still incredible.

We're bending something the way we would want to with light, so it's a step in that direction.

Step right up, come on down! See the amazing cloak of invisibility! Put it around you and you are completely--and I say completely--hidden from human eyes! Only five dollars here! Five dollars!

What's that, sir? It doesn't work? I don't understand. I brought it to the freak tent and the Two-dimensional Microwave Eyes Man says it works perfectly.

Ah, then we need special lens to only see MicroWave light so we can see the invisibility!

I demand full invisibility. The scientists are not working hard enough! Now, if you want to discuss the usefulness of a full invisibility I can think of a few things.

Well, there's the obvious covert missions, but that could be countered by heat-detecting goggles. There's the classic "peeping in the girl's change room/washroom/bedroom" trick. What else is there?

Oh god.

That has the potential to create so much chaos and if i ever were to get one i would exploit the fuck out of it.

Watch as people get into fights with the people next to them for no reason~! Freak people the fuck out. Cause chaos and get away with it.

Huh... That's... something. Invisibility is fun. And isn't "see the invisible" an oxymoron?

Technically, yes, but even if a full invisibility cloak is created, there are ways to see those wearing it. It only stops seeing them with the naked eye - like I said, heat-detecting goggles and other utilities can be used to see them. This is especially the case if it becomes popular.

Heh... the only times we'll ever see a full invisibility project and/or weapon/device, is in our vivid wild imaginations...

It's quite an assumption to say that we'll never have invisible objects in our lifetimes. Lifetimes are too damn long to say that.

I read that in Popular Science (latest issue). It's cool but... if it was 3-D and worked on all wavelengths, the interior would be completely devoid of light. Pitch black. Impossible to see out of. At elat, that what the scientists told popular science

If only we were all magicians and had invisibility cloaks like Harry Potter!

But really, that's awesome. Who'd have thought manipulating light like that could be possible? (hint: not me!)

I hate this idea. I like it, but... I'm about 20% for it and 80% against it. Think about it- If they perfect the cloak, someone's going to take advantage of it to cloak a bomb and use it on another country. Instead of helping the world, it'd end up DESTROYING IT. We don't want THAT on our minds, do we? That's why I'm against it- To keep people from using it to attack other countries. Take a look at Star Trek- They keep using their cloaking devices to attack other planets and ships. If we complete this device, we could end up with a war on our hands. Add to it the simple fact that we're deploying weapons in space, and we could be looking at a war that takes place right in our very galaxy... in outer space. It'd ruin all humans. Ugh... Now I'm afraid that the events of Star Trek will actually happen the exact way they tell them on the shows... and they're just that- TV Shows!

Whoa there, destroying the world is harder than you might think. All the nuclear weapons in the world, detonated while placed strategically or in one spot, would fuck up the ecosystem and such, but it would barely scratch the surface of the Earth. It would still be there, orbiting the sun merilly.

Damn. Reading this makes me want to be invisible. Then I'd be able to walk around and go "oooooooooo you can't see me oooooooo" (Halloween costume anyone?)

But you know, if this thing succeeds, someone up above's gonna be pretty ticked off

I think "Destroying the world" is short for "Destroying the world as we know it".
