Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, January 06, 2012

A team of physicists at Cornell University has manipulated light to make it appear as if 50 trillionths of a second never happened, a technique dubbed "temporal cloaking." Using the technique, they turned off a laser beam in a way that instruments receiving the beam could not detect, giving an observer no clue that the beam had blinked.

Can we do this for 2000-2008?

"Can we do this for 2000-2008?"

It would have to be ~1.5^18 times stronger.

Give or take. That's a lot of hamsters in the wheel.

Such a simple word....row.

And you guys thought Star Trek was fiction.

I open up gaps in Time every time I use my Vaporizer and THIS!.

YAWN..

I am sure some of my tax dollars were wasted on this stupid ass shit.

Just more academia welfare.

How's that 'god' working out for you, Christians?

Wow, someone's bitter...

Just more academia welfare.

Hey Fuck-Nuggets, you do realize that the Military os one of the biggest beneficiaries of this type of University research, right?

What are you? Soft on defense now? Commie.

So to expand on this principle every time I switch my lights off I leave a gap in time? Cool take that Stephen Hawking!

If they can't come up with a better way for me to clean out the restaurants shitters, I don't want them spending money on stuff I can't understand.

If you could pinpoint the moment of something bad happening in the future, you then might be able to "jump over" that moment using this technique.

50 trillionths of a second

Or about the time each of the other GOP candidates got to drive the klowncar before Romney took back the wheel.

And I'm sure some of my oxygen is wasted on you you stupid ass shit.

I was thinking more the amount of time they were rational.

There are so many things wrong with this I don;t know where to begin.

#18

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss #17. Worlds have changed in split-second events. Time is the most uncontrolable and powerful entity in our physical world...It is hard to deny the butterfly effect, especially considering the choices of 375 Florida voters in 2000. But I have a hard time imagining messing around with time and time not having the last laugh.

No doubt, another believer in the Big Bang too.

Everything created from Nothing in less than 50 trillionths of a second.

Apparently, a lot can happen in a moment. So begin somewhere soheifox, what's wrong?

Perhaps soheifox needs a thought experiment to explain my comments.

Let's say you had a laboratory experiment all set up. Say perhaps a nuclear fusion or even fission dealio.

Now say you knew precisely when a certain event, or reaction, was to occur.

Still with me? Okay, now what happens when you let the experiment run right up to the moment of the expected event; but instead, jump over it in time?

What happens to the information?

During the moment, does the information become independent of time and escapes unscathed to the new time horizon?

Or, is information independent of time even now; and this jump over in time proves it?

And are the "jumps" localized, like some eddy in a fast moving stream, affecting the whole but in a way not easily observed and perhaps even unmeasurable?

I don't know if it is opening up a gap in time as much as it is showing that the devices receiving the laser data are not capable of picking up the anomaly at this point in time. I don't think there was a gap in time, rather a lack of ability on part of the data receptors.

Can we do this for 2000-2008?

No, but it has happened for 2008 to 2012. The preseident that wants to be king has slipped it to us when we blinked.

They should bring me a device that does that right after I order a 5th shot of anything.

HA HA, 'Spray...you guys elected the worst POTUS in history and you're still bitching about Bush. Get help.

No, but it has happened for 2008 to 2012. The preseident that wants to be king/dictator has slipped it to us when we blinked.

2008-2012? The President who wanted to be king left office in 2008, PRAISE THE LORD!!

remember this quote;

"If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier.. ...just so long as I'm the dictator".

As for s plans regarding the economy, he was very succesful in doing exactly what he planed to do;

"It was amazing I won. I was running against peace and prosperity and incumbency."

During the moment, does the information become independent of time and escapes unscathed to the new time horizon?

RTA. It's a simple thing. The green laser light is shifted to two colors: blue and red. Blue travels faster through the medium, red much slower. This creates a gap where an object may pass through. The red is then sped up and the blue slowed down - recombining back to green. No evidence anything happened during the "time" gap is found.

50 trillionths of a second...or what 'Spray considers a hearty night in the sack.

Thanks YAV.

Very interesting description. Is this proof that information is preserved? In fact, information can not be destroyed?

not proof, just one more example.

Calm down everybody. I mean it's only $1/50th trillion. Sheesh.
