Yet another Star Trek device becomming reality. Roddenberry was a genius.

Kirk: Sulu, what do you make of that distortion?
Sulu: It appears to be an energy surge Sir.
Kirk: Enough energy to hide a ship?
Sulu: A cloaking device!
Kirk: Red alert! Shields up! Stand by on torpedoes Mr. Scott.

They sure are inventing a lot of cloaking devices this week.

This is about the 15th time I've heard this.

Look, it's not you. I'm just in a foul mood today because, for the first time in a while, my second half of my brain turned on long enough to truly appreciate how royally pwned we are all about to be.

Microwaves are not quite light waves. And using a field like this, you can't see out.

Read about it a month or more ago.

So that means it's not cloaking per se. At least not of the kind you see in sci-fi shows.

Things that rely on microwave based signals to detect stuff, fine, they'd be blinded. Anything else? Like Mark eyeball I? Tough.
