Yeah, takes chunks out of the world's surface, and extinguish all life on it's surface, or silghtly under it (i.e. us and wldlife).

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.


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


That's what I meant. ...Basically.

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

Wow.

It's just amazing how wrong this is.

Rerouting the light around the object instead of letting it reflect off of the object would indeed cause the interior to be devoid of light. Or at least a person inside would not be able to observe their surroundings by normal means. But as long as we're rerouting only specific wavelengths other forms of vision could be used.

You could still wear night vision goggles on the inside even during the day and see using them if you let the infrared spectrum through as normal. So, I don't think that's a major problem. Perhaps an inconvenience, but not standing in the way of a true invisibility cloak. There are lots of other things standing in the way of that.

I don't remember the episode in which the world was destroyed. Care to remind me which one that was? Or are you taking an even more paranoid mindset and saying that things that haven't even happened on TV will eventually occur in reality, while also claiming to have been inspired by such shows?

I personally consider this particular technology to potentially being of great use in studying things, particularly living ones. If something's completely invisible, the subject won't be able to respond to its presence.

Of course, this unfortunately opens up the risk of spying by whatever group on whatever other one, but meh. Nothing can be without downsides.

Whenit comes time for commercial distribution, I don't think it would be wise to buy one. You might lose it.

I meant like with the people on the Star Trek shows being born. Wouldn't it be freaky if everything that happened on Star Trek happened in reality one day?

Take any Science Fiction book/movie/TV program, I think if any of them happened on real life, it would be really freaky. (99% of them, since some have already happened )

Yeah! Maybe genetically engineered 'supermen' really will simultaneously seize control of 40 countries in 1992!

This reminds me of the "invisibility cloak" posted a few years ago that was really just a bunch of cameras and projectors, projecting the image of what's behind you onto your front.

And I would love being able to turn completely invisible.
