Scientists lay down theoretical blueprints for invisibility cloak.
WASHINGTON – The key to creating a Harry Potter-like invisibility cloak lies in manmade materials unlike any in nature or the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, researchers say.They’re laying out a blueprint for turning science fiction into reality. And they say that, in theory, nothing’s stopping them from making such a cloak.
Well, almost nothing: They still need to perfect the manufacture of those exotic materials with an ability to steer light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation around a cloaked object, rendering it as invisible as something tucked into a hole in space.
I understand none of that. What I do want to know is….
Is it an evil invisibilty cloak?
Will it include sharks with laserbeams on their heads?
To make this work as clothing it would have to be very thin and very light. Hmmm…I wonder if it works any better if its the thickness of, say, an aircraft’s body?
