AIRPLANE WINGS force air into a longer and a shorter stream, creating lift. This is analogous to the treatment of light in the space-time cloak. https://lnkd.in/eY2SZwt View in LinkedIn

EVENT CLOAKING MECHANISM. Light is manipulated as it enters the material, so that the leading half speeds up and arrives before an event, while the trailing half lags and arrives later. Thus, the event escapes illumination briefly, and quickly seamlessly closes after the event is concealed. https://lnkd.in/epsXTGi View in LinkedIn

SPACETIME. "The great John Archibald Wheeler had a ready description for how all of this fits together. "Spacetime tells matter how to move...matter tells spacetime how to curve." https://lnkd.in/eBtrMVG View in LinkedIn

TEMPORAL CLOAK. "A paper was published providing a way not only to cloak objects spatially but also temporally thus, in essence, removing an event from time. This was no longer simply a spatial cloak like the others mentioned but a space-time cloak, cloaking both in spatial dimensions and in the temporal dimension." (Martin McCall, 2011). https://lnkd.in/eeyVgrp View in LinkedIn

TRANSFORMATION OPTICS. "The now well-known “invisibility cloak” was the first example of a transformation optical device, first suggested by Pendry and the Duke team in 2006." https://lnkd.in/e_29NSG View in LinkedIn

BENDING SPACE. "Working with collaborator Sir John Pendry (Imperial College, London), the Duke team has developed the technique of Transformation Optics, in which bending space with coordinate transformations is used as an intuitive means of creating unique devices." https://lnkd.in/e_29NSG View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS our section on structured water, the provocative, interesting, and at times controversial, topic that courageously addresses the fact that water is not simply a solvent for living things. View in LinkedIn

TUMOR WATER. "The water content values from squamous cell carcinoma measurements were significantly higher than from surrounding healthy tissue (p-value < 0.0001). Tumor tissue could be detected with a sensitivity of 99% and a specificity of 92% using a cutoff water content value of 69%." https://lnkd.in/en8N892 View in LinkedIn

50 PICOSECONDS. "The gap achieved by Fridman and his colleagues was extremely small—just 50 picoseconds, or 50 trillionths of a second, in duration. The researchers note that it is possible to extend the gap somewhat, but that scattering and dispersion effects limit the scope of the temporal cloak to a few nanoseconds." https://lnkd.in/e-T4EeU View in LinkedIn

TUMOR WATER. "High-wavenumber Raman spectroscopy is a reliable technique to determine the water content of tissues, which may contribute to differentiate between tumor and healthy tissue." https://lnkd.in/en8N892 View in LinkedIn
