Previously, they only have been able to cloak very thin two-dimensional objects.

As opposed to those really thick two-dimensional objects?

The Romulans will reap benefits from our research.

I don't get it. Why spend all that money on a fancy new cloak that no one can see? Seems kind of fashion hostile to me.

Can we put it on spinning27?

Maybe they've already invented it. We'll never know.

The bad news is that it leaves a lot of lint in your belly button. The good news is you can't see it.

I'll believe it when I don't see it.

It's a great item. At least, until you check it in the coat room and they can't find it.

I used to work with a guy who believes there's some gold..something mineral (or something like that) mined that causes some people to become invisible. I can't remember his exact explanation, but he claimed it had someting to do with the way certain individuals react to it, and then there was something about the invisibility coming from their atoms moving too fast for us to see them.

This guy also believed there were these lizard people aliens that live among us. According to him, the reason we can't see them as lizard people is because they wear these belts, that when they push a button on them, the lizard people appear as humans.

This guy seriously believed all of this.

These guys think your friend has some sound theories.

I know a few NBA players who wore this for 10-12 minutes at a time when they played.

Their football team had been testing it for years before.
