Paco...
Read and heard on the news that the British and Americans are working
on a cloaking device which will make the wearer invisible to others. It
will work on the principle of bending light around the object being
cloaked.

You could be a ghost haunting someone you don't like!! :o)

Brings Harry Potter to mind. I suppose only the military
would have access to such technology?

Jean B....
:-) I clicked on by and then realized what you had said!
Naturally, until some crook steals it. Fortunately, I think this is still
in the realm of science fiction and wishful thinking.

Paco...
At first, yes, but then they could use it to cover landfills or ugly sites
etc.

Jean B....
LOL! So then what happens? We can stumble into them? Oh!
Think of the applications! :-)

I was thinking of criminals too. I dunno. Paco says he heard
it on NPR. Maybe it was Science Friday?

Goromoff...
there was an item over here, in the newspaper.

Joy...
There was an item about it in my newspaper this morning. It says the
concept is possible, but the technology hasn't been developed yet, or
something to that effect.
