Invisibility ... do you think it will happen?

Stealths are only invisible to radar, not to us, they dont count

Of course we don'thave aircraft that cant be seen in broad daylight

[seasalt dreams]

Why not! They do on star trek!

while you brought it up
who would win in a fight

The Dominion or The Borg?

well if it is possible which i dont think it is it's probably one of the things thats ya its cool but its to dangerous for us to use

Say it isn't so!

That is exactly what I am saying, their treatment is in a limited span of the em spectrum (radio waves)... The trick would be to widen the spectrum into a broader section of the em (electromagnetic) spectrum (into the visible light spectrum), i.e., a "blacker" black as the original post suggests. Theoretically, it "should" be possible, as we make substances that absorb different parts of the em spectrum now, it should just be a matter of finding something that will absorb the spectrum we want removed without any reflectance nor re-emittance at the wavelengths of visible light...

OK, that concept I understand

Now I'm confused again.

Yup, except in Sci Fi movies and such.

This brings up the question:

Is the song title

"Black is the color of my true love's hair"

or

"Black is the color of my loves true hair"

?

I think we need to up your medicine dose this week, either that or all the vapors from that book binder glue is getting to you...

hey i dont mean to hijack but did anyone eles hear about the guy who used radiation or some kind of waves to burn saltwater?

All this fancy physics talk... You just need to talk to my wife about invisibility... I say anything like "you wanna?" and she becomes invisible for days, sometimes weeks on end!

the Borg in the beginning, but the Dominion in the end
