Yeah. But I don't think that the general public would know until many decades later. In all honesty, I don't think it's a good idea to even look into, because as with most things, people will go too far (ie becoming better criminals, faking their kidnapping etc.)

But in simple terms yes. I think they have already have an invisible plane or something like that, right?

Wonder Woman!

I think they have managed to kind of cloak a plane and a car. But a human is another story. It's to clunky like how computers were 50 years ago. Huge materials, computers, and camera's all working together to create the invibility illusion. Here's an interesting article i found, the only one i found though. I'll keep looking for more.

What possible good could come from invisibility technology?

Oh, wait, the US would be better at killing people if the weapons were invisible.

Hooray.

I'm sure the army is two steps ahead of whatever has been released in the latest news.

Nah. Most army research these days is commissioned to private companies, and presumably whomever developed a technology like this would want to boast about it in order to draw in the big defense contracts. The RDM means, if the army has someone working on this technology, they won't neccesarily be the first to actually make it functional...what better way to grab the armies attention than pointing yourself out to the world, then blinking out of sight?

I have to say that I don't really care for the fact that this was posted in the Poll forum and there's no actual poll. However, since I lack mod powers in this forum, I guess I will just have to live with it.

fyi, I am actually invisible. just because I'm 100% awesome and awesome cannot be seen, but rather experienced.

Maybe we should stop talking about it all together. Or what am I saying? Maybe we weren't talking about anything to begin with. *Wink wink*

Who knows how genes are going to evolve/devolve?

Sorry golbez, i didn't know how to do the poll feature thing. Maybe someone will move it general discussion.

So it is, so it shall remain for all times!

Honestly, isn't a poll a poll even without a poll? What truly makes it a poll? Is it radio buttons? Is it the one inane choice that there is no reason to pick? Is it Undine?

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Jul 05, 2007 6:17 pm

A poll requires statistics (and yes, Undine too) or else it is just a question with people answering. We could try to figure the statistics by hand, but it's much better to use the application we have available on the forums.

That wasn't one of the choices. You're ruining the statistics.

Worst poll ever btw.

Are you sure?

There have been some pretty aweful polls in history.
