Not so fast, mr Ground Hugger.


The 3D screen is coming up!

OK, so it's not a holodeck, but it's a clever gadget.

Hmmm. That is interesting, and a start! But it is still not a solid projection. But for games, I guess you wouldn't have to have solid projections.

How much are they? Couldn't locate the price, which must mean their very expensive

Noah,

you said:

light is not affected by a magnetic field

I may be way out of my field here, but I just read a biography of Michael Faraday. In the entry for Faraday at MSN Encarta, it says:

In experimenting with magnetism, Faraday made two discoveries of great importance; one was the existence of diamagnetism, and the other was the fact that a magnetic field has the power to rotate the plane of polarized light passing through certain types of glass.

Encarta: Michael Faraday

Does this mean that light can actually be affected by a magnetic field, or am I interpreting this incorrectly?

i can honestly say that i belive we already have alot of technology that the govenrment is not letting out to the public. they have done it for many years, and are still doing it. i am in a class called Junior Air Force ROTC. they recently showed a video on stealth technology, there were still clasified topics in the video, they showed a brief picture of it, but that is all they would alow, and this is a new tape. ask yourself this question, do you think humanity is ready for such technology? no. i do not. guess why. because the government hid it al from us for so long. i think it is supposed to be another twelve years before they finally release information, as what my ROTC teacher has informed me.

Am I to believe that ROTC instructors are privy to classified information?

"Air Force" ???

of course it has to be secret.
or else some spies would get all the information to some places else.

(like me....chinese lol....just kidding...)

lol, the information he gave was not classified, now if he told me any more than he did, that probably would have been classified.
