unless light waves work on such a small scale that the light would still reach the under side of a box and be able to be reflected back? anyone understand what I'm talking about or have an know what would happen?

would be GREAT for flying object....]]>May 25th 2006 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/May 25th 2006 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/May 25th 2006 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/May 25th 2006 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/May 25th 2006 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/May 25th 2006 7:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/May 25th 2006 7:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/May 25th 2006 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/May 25th 2006 7:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/
It would be impossible to tell it was there without touching it. On the other hand, if the box was sitting on a trampoline, there would just be a very odd, unexplainable dent in the canvas, and lots of injuries. :)]]>May 25th 2006 8:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/

1. Nice name
2. Yep that makes sense
3. But then if it was a box and the material was on the bottom it would be stationary unless they can make tires out of it.

I was picturing a 5 sided box with a person in it walking around (think Snake from metal gear solid). So if there was no bottom to the box what the hell would you see when you looked at where the bottom should be from outside the box?

Other than that, in order to passively cloak a material using such technology, you need to transmit light waves faster than the immediate vicinity of the material. Because you need to cover more distance in same time as a light beam travelling in a straight line. Otherwise lens effect will be observable. In a highly scattering medium, this is possible, but using a laser will break the magic. In space this violates relativity, also in "clear" air the volume you can conceal is barely macroscopic. What you need is a computer or smt that predicts the image on one side based on a time correlated input on the other side in space I guess. Or a Romulan collegue! ]]>May 26th 2006 7:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/May 26th 2006 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/May 26th 2006 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/May 26th 2006 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/uk-scientists-working-on-cloaking-device/
