I find little evidence to believe in this. Above all else, even if it was true, why would they broadcast it to a world which still believes such technology is impossible? It makes no sense.

 

 

 

Pretty much all giant science breaktroughs get announced.

 

Those people are proud they are able to create such things.

 

 

 

And it's true a lot of people don't believe it. I think it's just because it's new, or because people have been trying so hard to find it without success.

 

50 years ago, most people wouldn't believe cloning would happen. Now you can get your dog cloned for 50k dollars (and the price will drop).

 

100 years ago, people thought it was impossible to go to the moon.

 

200 years ago, people thought the earth was flat. People didn't believe Columbus either.

 

 

 

Cloning, mutation, it's all possible now. Science improves very fast. It just has to happen one day.

 

People are afraid of new things, and certainly things like these, which will have a giant impact.

 

 

 

Immortality? I believe we will be able to achieve this one day. When? I hope not soon. But when that day arrives, a lot of people won't believe it either (I think, times may change).

 

 

 

 

 

As for it being a state secret.

 

The atom bomb was a state secret. Now you can find how to make on on google...

I don't want mass cloning as in having actual clones on the streets, I meant to use the clones for organ harvesting

organ harvesting would be considered controversial by many humane rights associations (if you mean breeding people to kill them and take their organs) (but if you mean the breeding of animals with an ear attached, that's allright..)

 

 

 

(go play the game Geneforge, and the world will become a lot clearer to you)

Being able to bend light around an object in such a way that all possible observers [every angle from every distance] is ludicrous with today's technology. If I had to bet on this, it only takes in the possibility of one observer, of infinite. Basically, they [probably] can only make an object "invisible" from only one point of view, most likely when both are stationary and the object is small [and, in my opinion, they probably havn't even got near perfecting that, based on personal speculation and a non-offering of viable sources].

Discounting this statement has become so old it's [almost?] not even worth it any more. Oi:

 

 

 

If you're going to pull a loophole, I'm going to anticipate that, save us two posts, and respond with "flatearth society", i.e., saying that twenty seconds from now "people" will still believe that the earth is flat. If you intend to respond that that makes you right anyways, then I can respond that that makes your entire post moot by degrading the definition of the word "people" to a loose definition of "at least two humans on this planet", rather than the definition that most would assume: "the majority". It all simply comes down to you needing to erase that line from your post to keep your point valid.

 

 

 

Being anal about technicalities if fun as hell.

Was this the philidelphia project? Or was that time travel? #-o Its all messed up now, stupid old age. :lol:

I would use this to scare the hell out of people. Be like, "BOO!"

 

 

 

Or buy an invisibilty cloak running around screaming "I'm harry potter!" :lol:

I read this a few days ago and it sounded awesome. I would love it if some people make enough of this material to cover a space ship, go to the moon undetected, and then set off some signal while dressed up as animals(i.e. dogs, cats, penguins, etc.) to freak us all out. :twss: That seems like my dream for now.

 

 

 

One con I see: Every country sends a nuke to blow the moon up. Shoot first ask later and all that... #-o

The Philadelphia Project was about invisibility aswell.

 

They tried to make a war ship invisible but failed.

To be completely honest, I won't be impressed until we get something like a Cloak of Invisibility from Harry Potter. Sure, it looks like we've taken a big step but we're probably gonna have to take a lot more.

I just had a thought. Why? A lot of money has already been wasted on this and no doubt nothing will happen with it. I klnow nothing about science but 'bending' light just sounds BS. I saw something about this on TV and they say it's like when water goes around a rock, and that they can do the same with light..

 

 

 

And I think it will be used for all the wrong reasons.

Hmm, that's pretty interesting actually. However, it has too much risk for abuse. I wonder how they will properly control that.. :-k

Everything that's supposed to be reserved for the government or military or police force ends up in the hands of some clever criminals one way or another. Its bad enough we have armed murderers around. Having armed murderers that we can't see can be disastrous. Pedophiles can abandon the Internet and walk into a kid's room or locker room undetected.

 

 

 

I really doubt this project will go so far as cloaking people, though. If it does it'll just add another advantage criminals can have over the common person. And while the chances of this invisibility thing being perfected in the next few decades might be slim, I hope they're planning some sort of way to prevent it from going public. Although the history of the world's expert criminals say nothing is out of reach from determined masterminds.

:cry: Why did you have to put that thought in my head :wall:

 

cowardly, yes,

 

wise, yes

 

 

 

if we have a choice: know all secrets in the world BUT ending the world within 50 years, or having things to dream about and having the world last for ages, i'd certainly choose for the latter

 

No, it's not wise. It's just being ignorant. You can be wise and research new technology without ending the world.

 

 

 

And that's a ridiculous scenario.

200 years ago, people thought the earth was flat. People didn't believe Columbus either.

 

Actually, I believe they thought it was more of a pear shape. Though im not absolutely positive that was the shape they believed it was, they didnt actually think it was flat.

200 years ago, people thought the earth was flat. People didn't believe Columbus either.

 

 

 

Well, sorry. It was about 400 years ago, for Columbus' time.

 

 

 

Also, history has shown that it was proven before his time that the world was round. It's just in school it's easier to keep up with the mistakes our elementary teachers have taught us.

 

 

 

OT: This has to be a really bad idea. Imagine MGS4. Snake could run and hide throughout the game without being spotted.

 

 

 

This invention + war = horrid results that my calculator won't show :shock:

I see, well my physics teacher was talking about how the us might have aldredy ahieved time travel, hence compensating for their outrageous spending patterns. I just think hes a nut job. He was convinced its philadelphia project that gave the us time travel.

I've read Moore's book about the Philadelphia Experiment, and it's some wacky stuff. Supposedly, the US attempted during WWII to make the warship USS Eldridge invisible. It worked, but the ship was spotted in a bay hundreds of miles away during the time it was invisible, and when it returned most of the crew were dead in gruesome ways.

 

 

 

That's the story anyway. Kinda makes me doubt the current claim about invisibility as well.

This does sound a bit too good to be true, but only because it's so new. It is bound to be discovered sooner or later, so why not now?

 

 

 

As for the results, I don't think the world is ready for this, and I doubt it will ever be... Invisible people will be running around everywhere. As if I wasn't paranoid enough as it is! #-o

I doubt this will be made commercial for a loooong time, if it is real. Also, it would cost a [cabbage]load in the beginning. Too many variables right now :wall:

I think it's pretty cowardly to stop learning about the world around you because you're afraid of getting hurt in the process

 

 

 

totally agreed.

(the objects are able to break the light), but it works.

 

Actually I believe they bend it, rather than breaking it. That being said, scientists have been able to "reverse" light (not just by using a mirror, hurr), but to make the light stop and go back to its source.

 

 

 

I like to see how different people react to the invention of invisibility though.

 

The army? Oh [garden tool], now we can kill people easier.

 

Scientists? What a breakthrough!

 

Normal people? Awesome, now we can sneak into womens changing rooms!

 

 

 

Science never fails to amaze, and thats a problem.

 

 

 

I'm going to have to agree. :|

Objects only appear because of light reflecting off of them. If you were able to bend light around an object, so that it reached the objects surroundings and not the object, then the object would be invisible. However, I am wondering what method is being used; where did you get this from? :S

 

 

 

Easier said than done.

 

 

 

Anyways, I believe the invention is a hoax. Even if it was invented, the government wouldn't open this information to the public. After all, the soldiers didn't brag to Hiroshima about their big bomb before dropping it :lol: ( :o ).

I don't think this could be used so destructively.

 

 

 

And then again, in 20 years I might regret saying that. Who knows.
