I'm not looking at you dudes, I'm looking past ya





It's been almost two years since we challenged science to get it together on this future stuff. A lot's happened since then, but not at the University of California-Berkeley I guess.

They're still trying to feed us the same garbage about their half-assed invisibility efforts. Now I don't doubt they're putting a lot of hard work in, but results count. And this time they're not even bothering to mention that when you're "invisible" (when light waves are being bent completely around you) you will at the same time be effectively blind too.

So is someone visible supposed to be there in the bank vault with you keeping an eye out, letting you know if you're about to trip on some gold bars and blowing your cover? Are they giving these things to people who are already blind but with the really good hearing to help them compensate? I don't know whether I'm more disappointed or disgusted, good night.

Actually... Disgusted, like you even can be any more. With the amount of money blown on shit with a possible "military application", we could have people living on the moon.
