big brother can look at my porn if he wants to, or sniff my undies. I have nothing to hide.

What if you download the wrong thing by acident one day. Or someone emails you something big brother doesn't like?

Aw... you guys make me wish I was just starting my career instead of just having retired from it. I did a lot of stuff in telecom and digital signal processing in my prime, until my brains rusted out and I completely lost patience with bureaucratic stupidity and turned into a grumpy old man. There's just not enough time in multiple lifetimes to learn about and do all the fascinating things out there now... But at least retirement will never be boring.

Reminds me of a song..."I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll ever know"

I always wonder what amazing things humans will be discovering long after I'm dead...

Maybe if we're lucky the folks who talk about reincarnation are right and we can come back and find out. That's the best reason I can think of for hoping such beliefs might be correct.

The only problem is then you would have to learn everything all over again.

Yeah, but I could choose some different specialty the next time. Wouldn't that be fun?

sometimes i wonder about the exact same thing. But i'm sure in my life time, there will be some massive improvements in our technology forsure.

then big brother will have to punish me and the other hundred million or so people with such material on their hard drives

i'm about halfway now... I still have learning to do but i can see a point in the future where my kids will have the upper hand. It makes u very philosophical

Oh Hermann, I read this article the other day and thought of you. Remember the British physicists who made that mathematical model which theoretically could cloak an object, well some researchers are building on that. Something like thousands of these tiny needles ten nanometers wide would project out from the cloak, and could bend the light around. The objects behind of course are visible as well. Cool shyte. Here it is from ScienceDaily

I read this also some while back, and was so excited by it that I showed it to my Uncle... However, he said that it would only make things invisible to radar; Is that true? I guess I've watched too much tv... lol

Oh man! You kill me... lol

Ah, not necessarily. I was practically born with a sketchpad and charcoal in my hands, and also had 'green fingers,' even as a child... my folks hardly knew a thing about plants.

The original plans made reference to radar, I think it mentioned the possibility of visibility as well. When I informed my brother, a physicist by trade, and one who comes to this site from time to time, he mentioned something called the Hairy Ball theorem. I had asked him how it would be possible for the light to converge back at one point when it wraps around the object without having a spot where there might be some visual discrepancies. That's when he directed me to the theorem.

Tonongton, thank you for the link! I find it all very interesting... well, that that I can understand, lol.
