A few months ago, physicists Cal Tech were able to bend visible light around an object and reform it on the other side rendering the object literally invisible, which is something that was thought to be impossible two years ago. Whether or not they can make that work for something as large as a human body is something else entirely. Other physicists have even been able to transport (as in Star Trek transport)particles from one side of the Danube River to another. Within a decade, they might be able to transport particles to the moon. And then maybe viruses or even water molecules. Who knows how soon Instant Transportion becomes reality.
Zombies will never exist, because, while the brain is still (sorta) active, nothing else isn't. Therefore, the chemicals that are required to move the muscles of the human body would not be made.
Wow that BigDog thing was impressive, especially when it slipped on the ice. So was that exoskeleton. It'd be RAW to have one of those things, but with a gun or flamethrower or something attached to one of the arms. Sigh...
i want a bio modified exoskeleton that can rocket jump, have built in health packs, can cloak,can have a HUD on the helmet, can plant security lasers, shoot guided rockets, and have a sentry on it's shoulder! now thats a weapon :p
Though cynicism is valuable, the good doctor whose experiments were covered on Discovery has posted on the Web site of his team that humans don't gain increased perception during moments of intense stress, like car accidents. GR's writers did fine research.
