The Science of Cloaking

Coming soon: invisible boats, clothes, tanks, planes and cars. Now you see it, now you don’t. Or maybe you never will see it. "It" all depends on either the pilot, driver, wearer or navigator. Welcome to one of the most amazing technologies of the near future: cloaking.

There are several ways to achieve cloaking. One method is to bend the light around an object. If the light skirts an item, your eyes can’t see it. Instead, they will see what is on the OTHER side! As incredible as this seems, it is certainly true.

This strange effect, nicknamed "spooky" by Albert Einstein, is a phenomenon as incredible as the fact that a single particle of light can be made to appear in TWO locations at the same time. It is literally simultaneous co-location.

Sounding much like something out of Star Trek, it is. The popular science fiction series, like countless others, uses light bending and transporting items as if it were no big deal. To further give Star Trek its due, many of the scientists working on these incredibly exciting projects admit to being genuine Trekkers.

Another genius at the art of cloaking is Russian scientist Dr. Oleg Gadomsky, who has a background in both quantum physics and optical electronics.

As you can clearly see and see through the images in these photos, Gadomsky has invented and patented for manufacture tiny particles which are made with nanotechnology which manipulate light and then direct it in various ways.

Gadomsky uses these light bending tricks to control what the human eye can see, and more importantly, cannot see.

With nanotechnology, which is the science of building things one atom at a time, humans are limited only by their imagination.

Joke of the Day: More Handy "Excuses" for You

If you have an answering machine but just can’t think of any creative outgoing messages to record, here are a few which might help you.

1. Hi. This is Pavel: If you are the phone company, I already sent you the money.

If you are my parents, please send some money.

If you are my bank, you didn’t loan me enough money.

If you are my friends, all of you owe me money.

If you are a female, don’t worry, I have LOTS of money. 2. Hi. Now you say something.

3. Hi, this is Pavel. I’m sorry I can’t answer the phone right now. Leave a message and then wait by your phone until I call you back.

4. A is for academics, B is for beer. It’s the reason we’re here.
