Cloaking a mathematical possibility

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Cloaking a mathematical possibility

Hmm, oh the potential abuse if it were really a viable and possible ability

Of course, cloaking a dust particle isn't new to me - most dust particles have been cloaked to me for years, although my mother appears to have some form of cloak detector enabled

That's so cool.

Being a trekkie myself, I think that is a very interesting discovery. But who knows whether or not it will actually be used in the future...

We don't need to cloak the dust, we've got an air-filtration system

I find the bed is good enough for me.

Hum, intresting.

Now, if only I had something that would make my principal dissapear for real.

But I do have one question that I don't believe was answered in that article. If said spec of dust was placed next to the cloak and did as they say "become invisible," would it just not appear to be there, or would there be black in place of the dust, or what? Would the visual effects be similar to the way the cloaks work in Freelancer, where as you can be looking directly at them and not see them, you just see what's behind them as if they weren't there or what?



I hope I didn't brain my damage!

Can someone explain to me why it's perfectly legal to put up instructions for building an atomic bomb on the Internet, but it's a federal offence to post a way to get around copy protection on CDs?

Hey Chips your cloaked dust comment reminds me of a essay that Dave Barry wrote. It was about how women can see microscopic amounts of dirt even after a man cleans
