    Default Invisibility cloak

    A barrier is removed from something that was considered fantasy every day it seems.

    The technology can make a 3D object near invisible, but it takes time to build. Still, I wonder how much the military will pour in that program.

    "Angry Uncle Gordon" describes me well.

    When meta materials were discovered the military starting pouring money into them. They have the advantage of being able to redirect not just light waves but theoretically could be scaled up to redirect seismic waves (earthquake immunity anyone?) or even ocean waves (tsunami immunity anyone?). I'm curious if the crystals they describe are light only however.
