First ever 'wormhole' created and it could make things INVISIBILE | |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 41078849 Ireland 08/25/2015 07:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Humanity is still a long way from creating space-time wormholes -- if they're even possible -- but that isn't stopping Spanish researchers from achieving something similar for magnetism. They've produced a wormhole-like effect that transports a magnetic field from one point in space to another through an "invisible" path. The trick was to transmit magnetic fields between two spheres linked by a multi-layer, spiraling cylinder whose materials hide the fields while they're in transit. It's as if they vanished, and then popped back into existence somewhere else. This isn't just for show, either. Provided that scientists can refine their technique, you could see magnetic devices whose magnets don't need to be near the action. [link to www.engadget.com] |

Although such a thing would take a lot of power to produce I guess. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56143255 Don't mention perpetual motion machines. My son drives me crazy with this - he's obsessed about inventing one for some reason. |
