Now They've Done It: A Time Cloaking Device

05/11/2012 9:07 AM

Klingon cloaking technology has arrived.

Check out this link:

The implications of this are astounding, and future applications are unlimited, especially when the evolution,power and miniaturization mature to the point of a hand held device.

The only minor difficulty I see immediately is anyone inside the "Dark Zone" would not be able to see "out", but I am sure a solution will eventually be found.

To quote Yogi Berra:"The future ain't what it used to be."

And in this case, neither is the past or present.

HTRN, If I read correctly it was time that was cloa

40 nS

HTRN, If I read correctly it was time that was cloaked, not physical objects. but that has been done too.

Whaaat? There seems to be a time loop here. Do you agree, Data?

It really doesn't matter........

What good comes from cloaking time when time doesn't exist? How hard can it be to hide something that never existed in the first place? Ok, I sense that many of you have arguments against my question. Please let me explain.

On a clear night, look up in the sky. Look for the most distant star you can find. As dim as it is, it must be many light years away. In fact, the light you are seeing could very well be from a star that is so far away that by time the light travels light years to you for your viewing pleasure, that in fact the star has actually burnt out. It no longer exists. So what you are really seeing is a recording or movie of the star. You are seeing it now, but it isn't there when you see it. The star is history. But you see it now. So what happened to the time it took for the light to reach you? That's right, it was never there in the first place, because it never existed.

Even the bible says there will come a point in time when time no longer exists. If there is a point in time when time no longer exists, then it can't possibly exist now. What this means is time is only a fignewton of your imagination!

Are you being serious?

...there will come a point in time when time no longer exists.

Do you hear yourself? Since religious discussions are forbidden here, please email me the reference if you can find it. I don't think you can. Please think about what you said for a while (time), and then use some logic. If time will end, then it exists now (regardless of what Einstein said).
