Photonic Crystal Cloaking Device?

Interesting,............

geez its getting cool outside, has anyone seen my cloak.

Who said that?!?

The problem with people that wear these cloaks is that they walk around naked

I put my cloak down somewhere and now I can't find it.....

Easy to find - just look for the place you can't see...

Oh you mean a black hole..........I lost a Nice HP calculator in one of those . if you come across it. pick it up for me.

Thanks

Can you see me now?

And the invisibility cloaks mentioned in old myths, could they have been advanced tech from some visitors that were remembered in stories? Think about those Inca aircraft models, "toys" made of gold, that when scaled up actually can fly, The batteries used by the Sumerians and their knowledge of planets that weren't even visible. Shades of "The Twilight Zone"!!!

It does seem strange that things that were told of in myth and legend are actually possible through advanced technology. It does make one wonder where those ancient peoples got those ideas and if Earth might have been visited by some advanced race around 3000 BC or earlier. It would explain some strange things from the past, but I think that it is difficult to separate hoax and wishful thinking from actual fact, since both sides have vested interests in proving the other wrong.

If Icarus was the science fiction hero of his day, Wilbur and Orville were the advanced technology of the future that reached his goal. Our Luke Skywalkers may well have an advanced counterpart some 3,000 years into our future. Remember "Clarke's Dictum".
