Or no need to beam us up Scotty, We've Got the Cloaking Device

We all know humanity's earliest encounter with cloaking technology was in 1986 in San Fransisco. You'll remember Admiral Jame T. Kirk decloaked his pirated Klingon Bird of Prey as he was trying to save some humpback whales from Japanese hunters. Could have been the pilot for the first Whale Wars Episode.

Actually it was Star Trek IV: The Journey Home.

Well we might not have to wait for another Klingon ship to pass our way to steal this technology. Researchers at Germany's Karlsruhe Institute of Technology just reported they were able to cloak at bump in a layer of gold, preventing it's detection. It's the first to work in three dimensions!!!

Ahh today a bump in a piece of gold, tomorrow the space shuttle!

. Live long and prosper .
Welcome to the future...Live Long and Prosper!

I read that article and I wondered how much money is being spent on that, and who cares? To clock gold doesn't change it's weight. It's still gonna be really heavy. Oh, I must be missing the point.

We are getting closer and closer to making me frightened by what we are capable of my friend. I read this earlier today.

I loved the Star Treck series. Right now I am thinking about making the evening one of being 'Beamed' up.
