What is Digg?147 Comments
- thepctech, on 08/10/2008, -4/+129Wow, didn't see this one comming
- Rizoh, on 08/10/2008, -3/+50Can it make my credit card bills disappear?
- digitaldivinci, on 08/10/2008, -6/+50I did see what you did there though.
- Palaceguard, on 08/10/2008, -3/+42Women's locker rooms?
- Cyberdactyl, on 08/11/2008, -3/+39I'll believe it when I se. . .uh.. .
- Floggeriffic, on 08/11/2008, -6/+28Pics or it isn't invisible...
wait...what? - nmcphee, on 08/11/2008, -0/+18"Among the real applications pondered for the future of real-world cloaking technology: stealth military devices and new medical techniques. "
What kind of medical techniques would you need invisibility for? An invisible patient doesn't seem helpful, and an invisible doctor would almost certainly violate some ethical code. - knuckles, on 08/11/2008, -0/+16How appropriate that the article has no pics.
- DivisibleByZero, on 08/11/2008, -0/+15Surgery might be a little easier if you could see through your tools? Of course that might make it hard to tell exactly where the scalpel is going.
- feliks2, on 08/11/2008, -0/+14Here he is:
Even scarrier now. - CLAWC, on 08/11/2008, -1/+131st thing to pop into every straight man's head: "Women's locker room!"
This would be AWESOME (For experimental purposes only, of course) - BXRWXR, on 08/11/2008, -1/+13Presenting the bill.
- copypastry, on 08/11/2008, -1/+12Maybe their tech tree isn't the same as ours.
- sponeil, on 08/11/2008, -0/+11New medical techniques? Do they cloak the hypodermic needle so the patient can't see it coming?
- DivisibleByZero, on 08/11/2008, -2/+13I just hide a camera in the overhead air vent.
- bradleyland, on 08/11/2008, -1/+11Why did you even consider stating that as a question?
Womens' locker rooms, here I come! - ScientistBlah, on 08/11/2008, -0/+10High School Girl's Locker Room here I come!
- sockpuppets, on 08/11/2008, -0/+9Dad?
- omenmedia, on 08/11/2008, -0/+9I put on my invisible robe and wizard hat.
- *jooloop*, on 08/11/2008, -0/+8Can you make this pencil disappear?
- plup, on 08/11/2008, -0/+7Yes.
- afireinside13t, on 08/11/2008, -0/+6jsp is correct. Meta materials could be used to make lenses with theoretically infinite resolution. And saying your research has medical applications is an easy way to get funding (either that or stick "nano" in the front).
- SHv2, on 08/11/2008, -3/+9I'd like to show you a magic trick... Tadaa!
- majordanger, on 08/11/2008, -0/+6I must be wearing this every time I ride my bicycle in traffic.
- Jedakiah, on 08/11/2008, -0/+6Here is a picture of the technology in action. Just try and find the guy in the field. He's only about 15 feet away.

- Jimmyinnz, on 08/11/2008, -1/+6This is exactly why I don't believe in UFOs. If we are approaching the stage where we can easily cloak items but can't yet send a person to Mars, do you honestly believe that a civilization that can transport itself to our world wouldn't yet have discovered the secrets of cloaking?
- Vironex, on 08/11/2008, -0/+5Did it have to be rape?
- bridgeyman, on 08/11/2008, -0/+5But if you are invisible because no light is hitting you, how can you see?
- aforsberg, on 08/11/2008, -4/+9saddam never had any ***** nukes!!!!
I thought Digg was for smart people - willster580, on 08/11/2008, -0/+4I was going to post the same thing myself but that would look really stupid.
- willster580, on 08/11/2008, -4/+8I seriously hope these are never available to the public. Imagine Pedobear, but invisible. *****.
- paulmer2003, on 08/11/2008, -0/+4There are a lot of frightening possibilities with this...
- Dumbledorito, on 08/11/2008, -0/+4This will be the best device for practical jokes involving car keys or glasses ever invented.
- inactive, on 08/11/2008, -0/+4I'm all for it if it can make Carrot top dissapear from the planet... forever.
- Petrie, on 08/11/2008, -0/+4Poor aforsberg couldn't render the comment properly without the /sarcasm tags. Another victim of poor coding standards.
He should update his sense of humor. - omenmedia, on 08/11/2008, -0/+4Cloaking devices already exist! And they are powered by cats!

- nard3456, on 08/11/2008, -0/+4Think again
- PacoBell, on 08/11/2008, -2/+5Pedobear, is that you o_O?
- inactive, on 08/11/2008, -0/+3Ahh you creepers :D
- jsp123, on 08/11/2008, -1/+4This technology can also be used to make super lenses.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamaterial - Vironex, on 08/11/2008, -0/+3Why would this become mainstream?
How would invisible people benefit society? - Rikkochet, on 08/11/2008, -0/+3RELEVANT. Thanks!
- loopyloopy, on 08/11/2008, -0/+3just dont tell the Romulans
- Ryvenn, on 08/11/2008, -0/+3This would not go the mainstream you're thinking of.
Just like you need a license in a lot of countries for a kevlar vest.
Think invisible cops... - Drizzit, on 08/11/2008, -1/+4The military implications are enormous here. Not only could we build a plane invisible to radar (Better than stealth technology) we could take the radar signal and turn it into whatever we want the radar to see. The former being far easier than the latter.
- ShadowofAres, on 08/11/2008, -0/+2Theres no interwebs for the intelligible people.s
- drgmdp, on 08/11/2008, -0/+2?
a radar doesn't actually "see" stuff
in any case, you'd have both radar and visual stalth combined.. - haxcorner, on 08/10/2008, -4/+6Real life Hollow Man. Excellent.
