Chinese scientists build black hole

uhhhh....don't know about anyone else but I don't like the idea of anyone building black holes. They have a dangerous way of growing.

The article says it is not an actual black hole, but a device that mimics the light bending properties of graviy using exotic materials that bend electric fields.

Now this certainly improves and open possibilities for more and more discoveries...Hats of to the Two scientist... The Invisibility cloak is true?...i dont disgest that up Thanks B???

I suspect there is a large black hole somewhere in my house. Stuff goes in there and I never find it again.

Ugh. This article is science reporting at its worst. The Chinese guys have built a ``perfect absorber'' for a particular wavelength of light. In other words; it is truly matte black. There also is no ``invisibility cloak technology''. Again, there are special geometries (spheres and cylinders) which can be coated with optical meta-materials to bend a specific wavelength of light around them, making them effectively invisible. This is only for a limited portion of the spectrum and only for a limited shape of object. Maybe one day there will be true ``invisibility cloaks'', but that day is not t... [More]
