	Researchers at Duke University have developed a blueprint for an "invisibility cloak" that could be used in military applications and wireless communications. The design specifies the use of exotic, synthetic composites called metamaterials. According to Professor David R. Smith, "All light or other electromagnetic waves are swept around the area, guided by the metamaterial to emerge on the other side as if they had passed through an empty volume of space." The work was supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

	Hi It is another ":1001 Arabian Nights" story coming true as most of those have come to reality. Read the stories & it will be revealed that what can be imagined can be produced. As The Holy Quraan says: I [ The God] revealed all the Names [Information] to ADAM ... So it is the inherited knowledge from ADAM

	This must mean that the spaceship that crashed and is held at area 51 is Romulan.

	It means that God may have revealed this in all the "Books" [Old Testaments & other Revealed Holy Books Bible ++] about the Knowledge given to ADAM

	Very interesting. Another great link to check out is the University of Tokyo Computer Information sytems and Computer Science department. (Tachilab). They use what they call "retro-reflective material to project directly back the image. This material consists of thousands of tiny clear beads that when light is projected onto it, it redirects it back in the same direction without the loss of scattering.

	How ironic it would be ... if the metamaterial that renders an object invisible ... was not transparent. The user from inside the cloak, would then have to reveal himself in order to see where he was going. __________________ The legacy of the digital age is that of segregation through differing formats. - HerbVic
