Invisible Man

Today's Disconnect
Invisibility

I just read this article, and I am suffering 3 disconnects in my brain; and not about the invisibility.  First, these are researchers at Berkeley working on a military application.  Second, the research is funded by the military.  Third, Xiang Zhang??? Chinese, I presume.
 
Whaaa?

Like mary I'm often taken aback when the words "military research," and "Cal Berkeley" are uttered together.  Xiang Zhang (JFC, are there any Occidental scientists?) being head researcher of the project does seem to fit, however.

Maybe it's not so much a military application they're working on, as a dream fulfillment of every man from the time he was 4years old. *Homer Simpson *drool
Mmmmm Invisble

 If women have similar "being invisible" fantasies, they involve sneaking into their friend's bedroom to see what her prom dress looks like, and some such.

Noam Chomsky has had numerous Pentagon contracts. Deeply held progessive beliefs are well and good, but we're talking American dollars here.
