So, Scientists Are Bending Light At Will Now

The future is closer than we think...I mean the Star Trek one.

]“Also, this ability could be used for efficient resonance absorptions for new solar cells and solar heaters; high-refractive-index materials for the making of efficient single-layer, wide-spectrum light reflection (not multi-layer, single-wavelength as in today's technology); light-trapping and its applications; and variations of materials' colors and their refraction patterns.”

Bent light is cool.....

I should have studied better in class because I have no clue as to what Axx posted. Stupid light fraction thingy. Out.

For Fathers Day I asked for a flashlight that can shine light around corners. My kids said it was a tad expensive...maybe next year though!

The other day I was drinking at the speed of light. Then I turned my highbeams on...

I mainly posted this for chefcraig, because he's into alternative energy and has asked how you can get more energy out of things.

I totally understand this thread. I ran over my expensive SL 20 flashlight and bent the shit out of it. So, with that being said, I say these guys doing this are about a day late and a dollor short. Science is fun.

Black holes..........don't even get me started on those things. SIMPLE STUFF.


HH<----Here's something I always like to say....BEND OVER------

No, it's tres cool ..was very interesting....

I love this stuff..

If you can bend light, you can eventually bend gravity.

Gravity seems to get really strong when you drink a bottle of rum.It's bends ya right over from side to side sometimes....

I've noticed that Jessica Alba's breasts seem to defy gravity.
