Invisibility cloak a reality in the near future?

Invisibility cloak a reality in the near future?

Seems like every few months there is news about an invisibility cloak. This time researchers from UC Berkeley have created a substance that is able to bend light. So far, the technology work on a nano scale, but larger scale applications, such as a cloak, are in the works. Additionally, the technology will be used to create high powered microscopes.
Is invisibility going to be a reality soon?
  • Yes, and how awesome is that?

    I just wonder if it will work best on video/film and not so well in reality. The human eye and mind see in dimensions.. so to not notice the lumpyness of the object ones looking at would be quite a trick..

    Useful invisibility shields are a long way off still, but the science is real and advancing rapidly. I can't wait to "engage my cloaking device"

    could be close... we've got tanks that can go invisible, but that's probably different technology somehow than this...

    An invisability cloak is a long long long way off. We got to start with the cloaking device first.

    Well that’s a start but to make an invisible cloth is a lot more difficult than that. Next step will be invisible planes, missiles, bombs, ships. A cloak is a long way off.

    well, if we can do it to tanks, i'm sure we can do it to tons of other things too, the cloak is not far off...

    Hmm... all these times I've stood thinking to myself: "If I had an invisibility cloak..."

    Here's a theory. What if all these technological miracles people imagine have already occured but have been locked away somewhere because of their possible implications?? Every time somebody gets closer to making another miracle reality... they get taken care of... and nobody is any wiser. Chills!

    imagine occured locked implications closer miracle reality care wiser chills
