[QUOTE=PhysOrg][B]By controlling how light bends around an object, researchers have built a shrinking device that makes objects appear smaller than they actually are. Although the original object does not actually shrink, the illusion of the smaller object is convincing enough to confuse viewers since the real size of the object cannot be perceived.[/B][/QUOTE]
I wonder what would happen if you put a shrinking device inside another shrinking device? :aaaaa:
As an added bonus, as the radius approaches zero, the object turns invisible.
i need one of this for my penis
now only for an enlargement device
[QUOTE=Breekachu;30159689]i need one of this for my penis[/QUOTE]
It's small enough.

No, you're thinking of this:
[QUOTE=krakadict;30159695]now only for an enlargement device[/QUOTE]
Or you could just move further away from the object? Or is that what they discovered.
One step closer to invisibility.
[QUOTE=Fatman55;30159728]One step closer to invisibility.[/QUOTE]
Impossible.

Bending light around an object is not possible?
:frog:

Surely it would be the last thing you need?

"Well that would require some sort of a Rebigulator which is a concept so ridiculous it makes me want to laugh out loud and chortle."

I want to see this in action.

No, the joke is that it's 'so huge' he needs to shrink it before he tears someone open.
Or, he's just very stupid.

invisibility is just bending light around an object.

Bending light?
That was possible?
Somewhat eluding title. Pretty neat though, I wonder how they manage to bend the light in the first place.
This is pretty intense. A shrinking device.

light-pliers.
Keep that shit away from the children

It always was

Might work via refraction or something
Hmm bending light to make objects appear smaller or bigger?......

That doesn't bend light on the object you're viewing i'm sure
How else would it work? Magic?
I'm pretty sure this is already standard equipment on side-view mirrors on cars
Okay, this is all well and good but when will we have the fing-longer?

That was a good episode.
Uhm... you get the same thing if you look through a binoculars the wrong way...
