The BBC News version was already posted, but:
(1) You can never have enough laser-cloaking-device-as-protection-against-aliens articles, and
(2) The content in this article is different.
As scientific gibberish goes, this nonsense is particularly fun.
can’t wait to see the comments and pictures in the morning :)
should be great.
Suppose the cloak makes the aliens think that Earth is composed of a crucial element needed for their dying civilization? Then what, eh?
/s
< no, I didn't read any of the article >
Cool!! Now, can we please use it to cloak Colorado from invading liberals fleeing California?
Great-so after we have polluted the solar system airways with radio broadcasts for almost a hundred years—now our “brilliant” scientists want to hide the planet.
Too late—if the bad aliens want to find us they know where to find us.
And—we can’t seem to find any radio signals of our own out there.
There can be no doubt that in the intergalactic world advanced aliens are playing chess while we are playing checkers.
One other thought—Rupert Sheldrake has pointed out that human science is totally useless when dealing with intelligent life forms—science assumes that the dumb subject of its study will not try to subvert the study.
The evil aliens would have ignored us and left us alone,...UNTIL THEY OBSERVED THE LASER CLOAKING DEVICE WE NOW POSSESS!!
What in God’s name are they thinking???
<8^0
Simply no and no
These stupid thought experiments by those in academe get ridiculous
Last sentence is true
Also drives me nuts because these stupid star gazers know ZERO about lasers.
Too late by several decades. What you need is a flux capacitor
Good point! Lol! (Plus, they can just follow their noses to get here, anyway.)
I’d rather they found a way to destroy space rocks headed our way. Don’t think aliens could get here from another solar system, but rocks have hit Earth in the past, and someday one will again.
Fine, but how are you going to mask all of those reruns of I Love Lucy that are travelling out into deep space?
Cool. How do we know that aliens detect planets the same way we do?
Does that measure how fluxed we are?
Where are you going to find enough dilithium crystals to power the thing?
