Not quite invisible yet, but it's an interesting development.

I doubt it will ever produce true invisibilty at close range- the distortion will be apparent, which will effectively reveal the position, at least, of the user.
I've heard some experts say that the look of this effect is very similar to what you see in that "Predator" movie... in the movie, of course, they made it look that way so you could tell where the alien was while accepting that he was invisible... but in RL this level of "invisibilty" wouldn't be very useful, except maybe at fairly long distances against a cluttered background.
It'd be like carrying your own "heat shimmer" around with you... in some cases, it'd make you stick out like a sore thumb.

If they ever perfect it.... .....it's down to the local pool and into the ladies locker room....  ;D  

Ah, it's such fun being a dirty old man.....  ;D

If my wife reads this, I'm dead..... ....she'll open up a can of whop a$$ of mega proportions.  

She already threatened me when I told her I couldn't guarantee the safety of the apple pie much longer.  :P

I can imagine Fozzer's glasses getting fogged up from all the steam. And that's before he enters the ladies room.

Imagine walking down the street and seeing semi-transparent, moving shapes like in Predator...

Then I'll know to avoid carrying a gun around as the predators love a challenge.

Time travel is easy: Make a space ship that can tow Jupiter to the mouth of a wormhole.  Then make another ship that can tow another Jupiter sized planet to the other end of the worm hole.  Pull the two planetsin such a way that the wormhole wraps around it self (the amount you wrap it depends on how far back or forward you wanna go).  Once done, enter the wormhole and BAM your back/forward in time.

Only one flaw in your genious plan: It's pretty hard to tow gas planets..

Yes, and that's the only flaw.

In theory.

Of course, wormholes are theorys too.

Are you absolutely sure that plan is going to work?

Tacit and Jake are obviously convinced....

..mind you, they are probably avid Star Trek enthusiasts as well.......!
LOL......!

Wormholes?....Invisibility?.....Faries...?....Moon Landings?...Nah!.......!

Paul, your alter ego reminds me of Lopez from Red vs Blue.

Time travel's a piece of cake... we're all doing it right now.  ;D

Just because you don't see it every day doesn't mean that it isn't possible.

P.S. I don't watch star trek. Don't know about Jake though...
