Scientists Create Real-Life Cloaking Device

[gene]

Star Trek fans, today just may be a day to rejoice as one of your favorite techs just got one step closer to becoming a reality. Scientists have been working with a new material that when submerged in water allows soundwaves to pass around it without alteration. This real-life cloaking device could render submarines undetectable to sonar. Perhaps one day this tech can be adopted to make large hulking subwoofers invisible to our wives?

Interesting indeed. But, how would this be applied on a sub, mounted here and there? The whole sub shape covered? How would it affect sub speed and water passage through it? Come to a dead stop and deploy?
Not sure what frequency is used on sub sonar or surface ship sonar.

Cloaking light waves? That would be something until they walk into it and scream.

Nice walnut veneer on that table.

Was really a joke just to get people to read/comment Unless you submerge the sub in water, it's not gonna disappear

WTF!
You mean the Romulans have infiltrated our scientific community?
Where else are they?
Ohhhh, it is all starting to make sense now...

Looks like a chipmunk escalator.

This is confusing- Are you both talking about the same thing? Submarine, or subwoofer?

I got really excited until I saw you're talking sound waves.

Looks like a giant cheese grater....or chipmunk grater.
