Dimensional Star Gates created with Metamaterials in China?

Well, just stumbled across this tidbit on Red Ice Creations, always an interesting stop on the tour of the internet. Seems the idea of ‘Star Gates’ or dimensional portals isn’t as far fetched as I originally thought!

I still consider this portal travel process might not be as complicated as we might think…after all, Harry Potter figured it out pretty quick, right?

Platform 9 1/2

Concept Described: First Tunable Electromagnetic Gateway

Entrance to platform nine and three-quarters at King’s Cross Station, used by Harry Potter on his way to school. New research describes the concept of a gateway that can block electromagnetic waves but that allows the passage of other entities, like a ‘hidden portal’.

In the research paper, the researchers from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Fudan University in Shanghai describe the concept of a “a gateway that can block electromagnetic waves but that allows the passage of other entities” like a “‘hidden portal’ as mentioned in fictions.”

The gateway, which is now much closer to reality, uses transformation optics and an amplified scattering effect from an arrangement of ferrite materials called single-crystal yttrium-iron-garnet that force light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation in complicated directions to create a hidden portal

 

So, examining the Wikipedia definition of metamaterials brought me to this fascinating tidbit…

This is also how you make Invisibility Cloaks!

Cloaking Device

Such a device typically involves surrounding the object to be cloaked with a shell which affects the passage of light near it. It was claimed that plasmons could be used to cancel out visible light or radiation coming from an object. This “plasmonic cover” would work by suppressing light scattering by resonating with illuminated light, which could render objects “nearly invisible to an observer.” The plasmonic screen would have to be tuned to the object being hidden, and would only suppress a specific wavelength—an object made invisible in red light would still be visible in multicolored daylight.

Harry Potter’s Invisibility Cloak

Well, I for one am tired of being teased with stories like this about cool technology, time to wrest it away from the power players and put it to use for the public!

Like the Dark Journalist points out in his investigations of the X technology, it’s a pretty sure bet that the military has plenty of exotic technology they are keeping all to themselves.

Also makes me wonder if the builders of Tartarian Antqui-tech had mastered the use of these meta-materials to open portals?
