Figures. The Institute of Physics has ED (electronic dysfunction) and can't keep their website up.

Okay, first of all it is not the surface of the road bending the light, it is the hot air rising from the surface. Secondly, I think it is saying that the carbon nanotubes have to be heated enough to create hot air sufficient to bend light from a not-so-obtuse angle. So it means that your invisibility cloak would have to be super heated. Not quite a compelling technology. Note that it also wouldn't work in space -- sorry Klingons.

As a liberal Texan, I cordially invite Rick Perry to choke on a bowl of cocks.

still cool tech and all... but jesus farking christ on a stick a messiah cycle... what the hell is up with the nearly non-stop greenlighting of retreaded links lately?

And yet there is still a glaring shortage of flying cars.

/what a crazy Texan scientist may look like...

Here is a picture of it...

He's just going to sell it to the Romulans.

Looks good.

The damn thing's got to have a tailpipe.

Having to superheat it isn't exactly an awesome selling point.

Not only that, but unless we're seriously wrong about the laws of physics, then someone inside the invisibility cloak would be just as blind to the outside world as an outside observer would be to the cloak and what's inside it.

rocketpants: Fake. Everybody knows science is illegal in Texas.

Thankyou, I've always wanted to know what having a Cheeto lodged in my sinuses felt like.

It's not an "invisibility cloak"
It's an "invisible cloak"

The cloak disappears so you can see whatever it's hiding...
not exactly what we'd hoped for

Pretty worthless for thermoptic camouflage then.

/too bad Motoko's hard to get right in cosplay

The Rick Perry cloak forgets one of the three things it was gonna hide.

/just what I think of anymore anyone mentions those...cheese toes.

I wonder how they worked Jesus into the equation.

rocketpants: Fake.

Everybody knows science is illegal in Texas.

Beaten to the punch. I wonder how hard they had to pray to get Jesus to spontaneously generate this miracle.

It works so good, that even websites can see it!

Rick Perry doesn't need an invisibility cloak. He needs an inaudibility cloak.

I think he needs "Flowers for Algernon" technology more than an invisibility cloak.

Raoul Eaton: Rick Perry doesn't need an invisibility cloak. He needs an inaudibility cloak.

Male Republicans and their male aides call those ball gags.

Invisibility cloak?

I'll believe it when I see it.

i have seen the future....and it's rape-y.

Obligatory "weirdest boner" joke.

After the debate last night, this headline is just too funny, even if the link is old news.

Old news, I remember watching an al qaeda video on live leak showing a soldier uncloak after a tank got hit. Anyone care to find it, I cant from my work PC. And that was about 4 years ago.

42nate: Invisibility cloak?

I'll believe it when I see it.

hehehe

As a man who gets off on watching people choke on bowls of cocks I think this country is going in the right direction.


/a bag of dicks will also suffice if a bowl of cocks is not available
//each dick/cock must be choked on individually and then put into a container for future choking.
///cocks LOL

Don't know how that douche keeps getting elected. I personally don't know a single person who likes the guy. And a vast majority of my friends/family/acquanintances are conservatives as well. Seems like everybody i talk too hates the man, but he always manages to get re-elected.

August 21st 2013 - A breakthrough! The first fully working invisibility cloak has been created, making it's wearer totally undetectable to anyone around them.

September 5th 2013 - A sole survivor wanders the ruined streets of N.Y City, hidden underneath his invisibility cloak. He is, unbeknownst to him, the only survivor of the invisibility wars that swept the world in a matter of days and brought about the demise of humankind.

I honestly don't think us humans could be trusted with invisibility tech.

Texas pseudo scientist found to be full of crap.

He doesn't have to be liked, just disliked less than the other guys.

Your bipartisanship on this issue is refreshing.

Where exactly does one find a bowl of cocks? My grandmother has a bowl of candies on her table, but she doesn't seem the type to keep spare cocks lying around.

That Guy in the Dos Equis Commercials: As a liberal Texan, I cordially invite Rick Perry to choke on a bowl of cocks.

As a generally republican Texan, I wholeheartedly agree.

/what an utter tool.

Wow, this really is news, since I only learned about it a mere five years ago.

Wish the point of view had been 90 to the plane of the "cloak".

If they lay it down, how do they find it?

FTA: In the United Kingdom, scientists are working to create temperature-controlled plates to attach to tanks that would make them disappear when viewed through night-vision goggles.

The hard part is getting people to put on the night-vision goggles AND not be disconcerted that the tank has suddenly vanished.

Rick Perry is always drunk. What do you suppose his drink of choice is-- beer? Whiskey? Bowl of cocks?
