I just read that they made time stop by bending light so it made it appear that an action (light crossing another light path) never happened.


Totally cool stuff to me.

There is a path with wet eyes and a path with dry eyes. I am comfortable with a wet path. " The “wet” path is that of meditation and of induced out-of-body states." (Crackdoc, congress and sex?

Yeah, that was in last week's Science. This is the same group that has been working on invisibility by bending and diffusing light around objects. The laser experiment your talking about is another way of making things invisible. It was quite clever how they split the light into different wavelengths so they could knock them out with a second laser and then recombine the remaining light so that the observer at the end wouldn't be able to see the missing wavelengths. Not sure how you'll be able to hide a tank or aircraft carrier that way, but it sure was cool.
