Go back to watching the Sci Fi Channel...

or POST at your favorite website www.GEEK.com (http://www.GEEK.com)


You have my vote for the most ridiculous POST ever POSTED...:stupid:

You should paint your AWD Marauder L this color

[Egon Spengler]

I made it half way through the first sentence before I gave up. What was it about? Oh wait... don't bother!

[Blackened300a]

Wow. The bandwidth meter is a wasting.

[cassidy]

An "L" is/was available for a Grand Marquis I believe, but maybe not in America... You gots to admit the Town Car "L" is what a real vehicle should be lengthwise...I am getting the rear roofline SQUARED off (instead of the rounded back it has now) to look more masculine.

I still can't believe a car the size of a MM is hard to sit in back seat wise...the extra six inches are NOT a luxury but a necessity if you don't want to be cramped in.

The IQ rating for MM.net just dropped 20 points.

Maybe I can dumb it down for you:



The work, 'A simple route to a tunable electromagnetic gateway' is a further advance in the study of metamaterials, published today in the New Journal of Physics (http://www.physorg.com/tags/new+journal+of+physics/).
In the research paper, the researchers from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Fudan University in Shanghai describe the concept of a "a gateway that can block electromagnetic waves (http://www.physorg.com/tags/electromagnetic+waves/) but that allows the passage of other entities" like a "'hidden portal' as mentioned in fictions."
The gateway, which is now much closer to reality, uses transformation optics and an amplified scattering effect from an arrangement of ferrite materials called single-crystal yttrium-iron-garnet that force light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation in complicated directions to create a hidden portal.
Previous attempts at an electromagnetic gateway were hindered by their narrow bandwidth, only capturing a small range of visible light or other forms of electromagnetic radiation. This new configuration of metamaterials however can be manipulated to have optimum permittivity and permeability - able to insulate the electromagnetic field that encounters it with an appropriate magnetic reaction.
Because of the arrangement's response to magnetic fields it also has the added advantage of being tunable and can therefore be switched on and off remotely.
Dr Huanyang Chen from the Physics Department at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has commented, "In the frequency range in which the metamaterial possesses a negative refraction index, people standing outside the gateway would see something like a mirror. Whether it can block all visible light depends on whether one can make a metamaterial that has a negative refractive index from 300 to 800 nanometres."
Metamaterials, the area of physics research behind the possible creation of a real Harry Potter-style invisibility cloak, are exotic composite materials constructed at the atomic (rather than the usual chemical) level to produce materials with properties beyond those which appear naturally.


The Thesis/paper/article, 'A simple route to a tunable electromagnetic gateway' is an advancement with studies of materials that bend light, published in the hard to read website.
In the research paper, the researchers from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Fudan University in Shanghai describe the concept of a "thing that can be looked through but not seen".

The thing, which will happen soon, uses something to force light and other forms of other things like radar to scatter thus making the object invisible.

Before now this was hard to do. This new stuff works better.
Because it can be switched on and off remotely.

Dr Chen from the Physics Department at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has said something like, "from the outside it looks like a mirror, but that if you can make the right stuff to work the right way then it would be invisible."

Thus creating a real Harry Potter-style invisibility cloak, might work.

Which you can look out of but not into.

-------------------

This early stuff would make the ultimate in tinted windows with a 0% light going in but a 100% or some ratio there of light going out. But you would need a light inside as it would be dark.

LOL this made me chuckle.

AJ needs a new screen name... like space cadet or something... taking ideas starting.......

NOW!

[Dr Caleb]

Wow. Atypical primate responses.

If you don't understand it, beat it with a rock till it leaves you alone.

Thanks for the link, I've been looking for somewhere to get another set of Marc Okrand's Klingon language tapes and dictionary since my Girlfriend in College absconded with them.

[Donny Carlson]

And I have just the thing...

You're welcome.

I guess you all missed the part where you can paint your car to be radar and laser invisible.

No, I think a number of us....uh; on second thought, never mind.

saw him live! GREAT SHOW!

As for the radar etc... I like to live dangerously!
