The US Army is now testing smart camo that uses active LCD
woven into the cloth to act like a chameleon and blend into the background.

I think a StarWars light saber might be possible with a
controlled magnetic field and plasma. Which, of course, always begs the question of: "Why?" I know, I know -- because it's an elegant weapon. But without The Force to guide your hand, you're just a sitting duck for a guy in a walker with a laser cannon... ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Einstein's equation works both ways, E=MC^2 means that to create matter with a weight equal to a person would require the energy of several thousand atomic bombs, under full control and without destruction of the mechanism. Obviously you meant to add "using current known technologies!" Crash Lander |
