#1 Cloaking devices! Excellent!

Although I think Fred already has one; I can see what the other pages are for, but this "Page 0" explanation is still hidden . . .

#3 No ship that small could have a cloaking device.

#4 The Yehudi Effect has pretty much the same result for visible light and has been around since WWII. Nevertheless, this is fun. Thanks.

#5 Sounds a lot like what the Russians claimed they had. The Russians claim they had a stealth device that could be used on all current aircraft. From my understanding it was placed in the radar nose cone and used to shield the forward section.
This is a couple of articles
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/future-00o.html
Thiers more it you look around I remember a Drudge article awhile back with a interview from the scientist himself from Russia.
Is it real Ehhh maybe but I think thier must be either expence or vialbe application problems to keep the tech in the back burner and especially not on the US plate. Future capability for maybe higher speeds with less drag and such I would say much more lickly. Sounds to me the amount of heat and power needed would neglect the Radar stealth advantage weras the latter above speed would be only advantage.

#7 #1. Doctor, this happened with the Format Changes on Feb 21. Fred explained in part: When I initially wrote Page 1/Page 2, I set it up as a binary, either WoT or not WoT. Naturally, I set WoT as 1 and Not-WoT as 0. I've redesigned and set all the 0s to 2, and 3 will follow naturally enough. But because I designed it one way, and now I'm building it another way, there'll be bugs crawling all over the place for a few days, until I can Flit them all. To make matters worse, I've also done away with the physical Page 2. It's now all one page, only with different filters. Be patient...

#10 This was done already with the "Philadelphia Experiment" using theories developed by Tesla and Einstein to make the USS Eldridge invisible. I hope these folks have more control over their experiments than did the scientists in 1943 with their invisible/time travel experience with the Eldridge and crew.

#12 See http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq21-1.htm. However, this article states "Einstein was a part-TIME consultant! Aha!

#13 And - just in case you missed it - #12 is relevant, because, not only did the ship DISAPPEAR for four hours, it ALSO traveled through TIME! But it also did terrible things to some of the crewmen.....

#14 If I want dust to be invisible , i sweep it under the carpet . May I have a grant to study this some more please , I aint 100% sure it is fool proof or not . £250,000 should cover the basics .

yours faithfully

#15 When it returned to its original place there was a greenish haze on deck. Some of the sailors were on fire. Some were sick. Some had died. Some were part of the super structure of the ship, buried in the deck or walls of the ship. Reports said that men disappeared, and were never seen again.

#19 I thought everybody understood we don't discuss Page 0 items.

#20 something similar seems to be working on the contents of my wallet.

#21 Page 0 items are stealth items, so this is appropriate...
