Leynivopn Ísraelshers: Klingon disruptors, Thalaron Cannons - bandarískir vísindamenn hanna "a cloaking device"

Og hver myndi þá verða hissa á að frétta að Bandaríkjastjórn sé að búa sig undir geimhernað? Í morgun las ég frétt á the Guardian: "Gaza doctors say patients suffering mystery injuries". Samkvæmt the Guardian hafa læknar á Gaza verið að taka á móti mönnum með stórskrýtin skotsár:

Doctors said that, unlike traditional combat injuries from shells or bullets, there were no large shrapnel pieces found in the patients' bodies and there appeared to be a "dusting" on severely damaged internal organs.

"Bodies arrived severely fragmented, melted and disfigured," said Jumaa Saqa'a, a doctor at Shifa hospital, the main casualty hospital in Gaza City. "We found internal burning of organs, while externally there were minute pieces of shrapnel. When we opened many of the injured people we found dusting on the internal organs."

At the Kamal Odwan Hospital, in Beit Lahiya, deputy director Saied Jouda, said he had found similar injuries. "We don't know what it means - new weapons or something new added to a previous weapon," he said. "We had patients who died after stabilisation and that is very unusual."

Kannski ekki Thaleron rays? Ísreaelsher neitar því líka að hafa verið að gera tilraunir með ný vopn. En þá sá ég þessa frétt frá AP: "Scientists create cloak of invisibility" - en AP heldur því fram að vísidamenn í Bretlandi og Bandríkjunum hafi hannað einhverskonar cloaking device, og að í fyrstu tilraun hafi þeim tekist að láta koparhólk hverfa. Vísindamenn eru auðvitað hæst ánægðir með þessar fréttir:

the ideas raised by the work "represent a first step toward the development of functional materials for a wide spectrum of civil and military applications."

En gamanið var ekki búið, því þriðja fréttin sem ég las var frétt Washington Post um nýjustu geimáætlanir Bandaríkjaforseta: "Bush Sets Defence As Space Priority":

Bush's top goals are to "strengthen the nation's space leadership and ensure that space capabilities are available in time to further U.S. national security, homeland security, and foreign policy objectives" and to "enable unhindered U.S. operations in and through space to defend our interests there."

Það er augljóst að Mossad og Bandaríkjaher eru að undirbúa sig undir geimhernað: Cloaking devices, Klingon Disruptors, "Space Defence"! Það vantar samt ennþá transporters og Warp drive. En bíðum við. Fyrir örfáum dögum sá ég þessa frétt hjá Reuters: "Scientists teleport two different objects", og nú voru það danskir vísindamenn við Niels Bohr Institute sem fluttu nokkrar efnisagnir yfir stutta vegalengd:

The experiment involved for the first time a macroscopic atomic object containing thousands of billions of atoms. They also teleported the information a distance of half a meter but believe it can be extended further.

"Teleportation between two single atoms had been done two years ago by two teams, but this was done at a distance of a fraction of a millimeter," Polzik, of the Danish National Research Foundation Center for Quantum Optics, explained. "Our method allows teleportation to be taken over longer distances because it involves light as the carrier of entanglement," he added.

Að vísu er vísindamennirnir ekki alveg nógu sannfærðir um að þeir muni geta flutt fólk og stærri hluti á milli geimskipa alveg í bráð, og segja ekkert um "the development of functional ... military applications" eða hvort þessi tækni muni "enable unhindered U.S. operations in and through space to defend our interests there." En semsagt, nú vantar okkur bara Warp drive!
