Well, as we discussed in my previous science update, the only teleportation we can manage as of yet is with information. which is progressing nicely. They've discovered how to purify entanglement. so i figure in about 5-10 years we'll have quantum modems. human teleportation will almost definately never be able to happen.

That is amazing. Utterly amazing. I didn't even feel that anything like that was possible even though a friend of mine told me that it theoretically was and explained how it could be done. I just didn't have an opinion on the matter. But I figured this was coming.
It's just that my friend ruined it by saying that the government already had these invisibility cloaks (actually he said they were more like space suits and worked using mirrors) and that government offficials were walking among us in busy streets in busy cities (Dallas, New York, Los Angeles). Why does everyone have this idea that the government is all-powerful?

I refuse the concept that the government has supertechnology. I mean, come on. These guys can't even balance the budget or invade Cuba without messing things up.
Though I must admit, there are some pretty scary ways that someone could use this invisibility technology.

The Makeout Hobo is real, and does indeed travel around the country in his van and make out with ladies... If you meet him, it is customary to greet him with a shot of whiskey and a high five (if you are a dude) or passionate makeouts (if you are a lady).
Does this mean that you have something to hide?Though I must admit, there are some pretty scary ways that someone could use this invisibility technology.
As a side joke, it seems it's scary when an inherently flawed human organization uses it (so it will fail in its intents), but it's ok when an all-powerful deity does?

It's all just a matter of interpretation.

At first, I don't think anybody would buy a device that would detect invisible people because there wouldn't be very many invisibility "cloaks" out there. But then, once there are more in the public, would people really shell out all that money just on the slightest chance someone is watching them? It would be unwise to buy the invisibility detector until it is small enough and cheap enough to not be too big of a deal. That is unless everybody buys an invisibility cloak...

not immature, honest. i would guess that at least 90% of the men in the world would consider sneaking into the women's showers.

Okay, speaking of rain, I'm going to rain on the parade a bit.
This 'breakthrough' only works in two dimensions and only hides an object made entirely of a very specific material in a very specific way. How would this change into a cloak that could hide everything underneath it? Is this even the right technology, maybe fiber optics are a better idea?
I don't know.

H_K, you're right. I worked for the government for about 10 years or so ( for various subcontractor firms), and we have no "super-technology."I refuse the concept that the government has supertechnology. I mean, come on. These guys can't even balance the budget or invade Cuba without messing things up.
No supertechnology at all. Totally none. Not even the least little bit. Really. None.

For some reason, even though I didn't think we had any to start with, I find myself feeling rather disappointed at that. Like how I felt when my mom told me there was no Santa, even though I already knew it before she told me.
