    Step into My Wormhole and Become Invisible

    Math geeks at University of Rochester say it's theoretically possible to create a wormhole between two locations. The beauty part is that you'd be invisible while you travel between them. The tech you'd use to do this sounds a little like Philip K. Dick's "scramble suit" from A Scanner Darkly. "Metamaterials" that bend electromagnetic fields would create a space from which light couldn't escape, thus making you effectively invisible as you "tunneled" to another spot. When are they going to start selling this at Radio Shack?Electomagnetic wormholes possible with invisibility technology [via University of Rochester]
