Scientists Create Cloak of Invisibility
WASHINGTON (AP) -- "Scientists are boldly going where only fiction has gone before - to develop a Cloak of Invisibility. It isn't quite ready to hide a Romulan space ship from Capt. James T. Kirk or to disguise Harry Potter, but it is a significant start and could show the way to more sophisticated designs..."
The military uses are of course obvious. The potential civilian applications are staggering, as, just for a moment, picture a would-be crook rendering himself invisible. A cop on a stakeout doing the same, etc.
But what is bound to be the most important and well-received feature of such a technology, is in hiding what NEEDS to be forever again unseen.
Sunglasses programmed to blot out the face of even the most ugly of creatures.
I want one. See-No-Hill glasses, I mean.
