How could we build an invisibility cloak to hide Earth from an alien civilisation?
David Kipping, Columbia University
What would it take to hide an entire planet? It sounds more like a question posed in an episode of "Star Trek" than in academic discourse, but sometimes the bleeding edge of science blurs with themes found in science fiction.
Of course we've been leaking our own position to distant stars via radio and television signals for six decades now, largely ignorant of the cosmic implications. But several notable scientists, such as Stephen Hawking, have publicly voiced concerns about revealing our presence to other civilisations. These concerns largely draw from the darker chapters of our own history, when a more advanced civilisation would subjugate and displace a less advanced one.
It might be too late for us to withdraw back into invisibility, but maybe not for other intelligent alien civilisations out there. A far-off planet's inhabitants might prefer to hide from the likes of us. Recently, my graduate student Alex Teachey and I published a paper that proposes a way to cloak planets, as well as a way to broadcast a civilisation's existence. Even if we're not manipulating our own signal in this way, it doesn't mean other planets out there aren't. It's possible what we see as we scan the universe for other habitable planets has been engineered to disguise or highlight the existence of other civilisations.
Tracking transits to find other planets
Before we talk about how to hide a planet from distant voyeurs, consider the best way we've figured out to find one.
Humanity's most successful technique for detecting other planets is the transit method. A transit occurs when a planet appears to pass in front of its parent sun, blocking out some of its starlight for a few hours. So if we have our telescopes trained at one part of the universe and a star seems to fade out for part of a day, that tells us that a planet has temporarily come between us as it goes about its orbit. Using this technique, NASA's Kepler Mission has discovered several thousand planets.
It seems likely that any advanced civilisation would be aware of this simple method. Each time a planet transits its star, its existence is essentially being advertised to all points lying along the same plane as the planet and star.
An advanced civilisation might be okay having its planet's location, size and even atmospheric chemistry advertised across the cosmos. Or it might wish to conceal its presence. If the latter, it might choose to build a cloak.
A planetary invisibility cloak
It turns out that hiding planets from the transit method would be surprisingly easy, so easy that we earthlings could do it right now, if we chose. Since transits appear as a brightness decrease of a distant star, our hypothetical cloak simply produces the opposite brightness increase.
Lasers provide an efficient means of countering that dip in brightness. All a laser's power is contained in a relatively narrow beam, as opposed to spreading out in all directions like starlight does. Due to the way light spreads as it travels – called diffraction – the laser beam would spread to encompass entire solar systems after journeying many light years across space, bathing that distant planetary system within the cloaking beam. No dip in brightness makes it look like there's no planet there at all.
A laser cloak capable of hiding the Earth from an alien version of NASA's Kepler Mission would require 30 megawatts of power at peak intensity, approximately equivalent to 10 wind turbines worth of power output.
While Kepler sees light in only one colour, advanced civilisations might use more sophisticated detectors capable of collecting light at all wavelengths. Here too, our current technology could cloak us using modern tunable lasers, for a cost of about 10 times more power overall. More advanced civilisations might be able to detect other fine details of the light's properties, betraying the cloak. But here too there's no reason why with a little bit of work we couldn't engineer solutions, leading to a near perfect cloak which could be targeted at distant stars where we suspect someone might be home.
Why choose to hide
So yes, it sounds like science fiction, but even current technology could do a fine job of cloaking the Earth's transit signature.
Forget the Earth though; we never really thought of this as something humanity should or should not do. Instead, we posit that if our rudimentary human technology can build such an effective transit cloak at relatively little economic cost, then more advanced civilisations may be able to hide from us with respect to all detection techniques. The universe might not be all that it seems.
Why might a civilisation choose to wrap itself in invisibility? It could be a sort of insurance policy: find the nearby planets with potential for supporting life and turn on a targeted cloak – just in case a civilisation ever emerges. Such a policy effectively buys them time to reveal their presence when they see fit.
Given how cheap such a cloak would be, an insurance policy for your home planet is perhaps not as strange as it seems. It's certainly not implausible a civilisation might want to bide its time – surveilling the neighbours for a while before rolling out the intergalactic welcome mat. But there's a flip side to this technology that could turn it from an invisibility cloak into more of a we-are-here spotlight.
The reverse: flick on the beacon
Perhaps not all civilisations are xenophobic – some might want to talk. If you wanted to reveal your presence to other civilisations as cheaply and unambiguously as possible, how might you do it?
Imagine looking at some data of a distant planet – which has become a somewhat normal enterprise for astronomers – and noticing something weird. The signature of the planet has a strange shape – in fact, none of your models are able to explain it. It looks like someone has imprinted a series of spikes into the data, following the prime number series. Nothing in nature can do this – you have just detected another civilisation's beacon. Alternative use of the cloaking system's laser could be to make a planet's signal look highly artificial, instead of hidden. Now they don't care about building the perfect cloak; they want to be found!
Could such signals be lurking in our existing measurements? Perhaps so. No one has ever looked, and we hope our work sparks efforts on that front. It may be a long shot, since to even get to this point we need to try to imagine how aliens might think – but given the scientific prize on offer it's also worth it. If we identify a strange transit, it may well contain information encoded via laser light pulses. Huge volumes of information could be hidden within the transit signatures of other planets.
For us, this was an exercise in intellectual curiosity. We simply calculated how much energy it would take to either cloak or broadcast a planet's existence. Whether we should seriously consider wrapping Earth in a protective cloak of invisibility – or conversely, getting serious about trumpeting our existence – via laser manipulations is something we should all decide together.

When it comes to choosing a dating ukrainian wife site, a handful of things are crucial. It is important to get yourself a site that offers a high effectiveness. The higher the success rate, the better the chances are of finding a suitable partner. It is additionally important to figure out how many people sign up for the specific site. Several websites allow you to share minimal information to members, although some require you to uncover much more. When ever deciding which will dating webpage to work with, take time to reading online testimonials and try the free of charge versions.
You can get reviews on dating sites by searching for them on the web. A good seeing site are listed all of the advantages and disadvantages of the site, as well as the requirements that users have for his or her matches. While you should take notice of the positives and disadvantages of each internet site, you should also be sure to read the conditions that are submitted to the site. Some of these guidelines include the methods used by the company to fit people.
A dating site can include great features, nonetheless a small regular membership base makes it useless. You are able to compare these types of features and services to make the decision which one fits you best. Besides looking for the best matches, look for a internet site that offers a user-friendly user interface. You can even discover reviews by people who have tried different dating sites, so you can find out which one functions for them. It is very important to make sure that the service provides what you need.
An excellent dating internet site should also give a messaging company. This will allow you to talk with potential complements without disclosing your email talk about or other personal specifics. This can be useful if you don't need to meet somebody you don't need to date. In addition to this, many sites today offer a cam option, which can be particularly valuable when it comes to concealing the messenger ID. Furthermore, you can use video messenger applications to contact potential days before the actual thing takes place.
Aside from these features, a good dating site needs to have a substantial membership foundation. Otherwise, it is a waste of resources and cash. Another important feature is a search facility. It will let you seek out potential companions based on hobbies and other conditions. It should likewise let you wedge members which might be annoying. By doing this, you can avoid wasting your time and money. If you are looking for a mate, it is important to locate a reputable seeing site that has a big member starting.
A going out with site really should have a high regular membership base. Small the health club, the higher the price. The bigger the membership rights, the lower the cost. In addition , a dating site should have a superior membership foundation because it will be less expensive within the long run. The price per month is determined by how many messages you exchange. A paid subscription will cost you far more if you satisfy someone after three several weeks. If you find someone, you should go with that. Then, you may spend more time understanding them before assembly them in person.
A dating site must have a wide range of user profiles and alternatives. It should offer a variety of different services. Among the list of largest types are Meet and eHarmony, which equally use character tests and questionnaires correspond you with compatible matches. These sites are more expensive than totally free dating sites, nevertheless they are simply worth looking forward to if there is a mobile application. Lastly, consider the size of the membership. While there are many things to consider when searching for a dating site, you should choose one that suit syour needs.
There are various factors which have been key in choosing your dating web page. For instance, a dating web page should be accessible in your nation. The bigger the membership, the better. When a site does not, you should choose a numerous website. A no cost dating site should have a considerable membership bottom part. If a internet dating site doesn't, you'll be best using a paid one. If a website possesses a limited regular membership, you'll be spending your time and funds.

Weed is big business for the places where it is legal. Washington, Colorado, Nevada, California, and other places are bringing in big money in taxes and other fees after legalizing marijuana. The entire country of Canada just made pot legal and they are about to find out how lucrative that can be, though a handful of people are already cashing in big time.
A recent surge in the share prices of companies that grow cannabis have made millionaires and billionaires out of cannabis investors. Brendan Kelly, Michael Blue, and Christian Groh invested in Seattle-based Privateer Holdings Inc. in May 2010. That firm later invested in the Canadian cannabis company Tilray Inc., which has seen its shares skyrocket 13 fold since it made its IPO in July. The valuation of the stake held by the trio is $7.2 billion, or $2.4 billion each.
The men (and thus far they are all men) who run Canada's pot companies aren't doing too shabby themselves. Let's take a look at the men who have become very wealthy thanks to their bet on Canada's marijuana legalization.
Terry Booth
Aurora Cannabis, Inc.
Value of Stake: $95.1 million
Terry Booth is the 54-year old CEO of Aurora Cannabis, Inc. He used to sell marijuana to his friends in high school for $25 CAD per quarter ounce. Earlier in 2018, his company pulled off the largest takeover in the industry when it bought CanniMed Therapeutics for $1.23 billion CAD.
Canopy Growth Corp.
Value of Stake: $142.6 million
Bruce Linton is the 52-year-old CEO of Canopy Growth Corp., one of the largest pot companies in the world. The company is located in a former Hershey's chocolate factory in Smith Falls, Ontario.
John Cervini
Aphria, Inc.
Value of Stake: $144 million
John Cervini founded Ontario based Aphria after leaving his family's greenhouse business that sold tomatoes and peppers. He and his friend Cole Cacciavillani had a hunch about marijuana as a potentially profitable crop, but neither had any experience growing the plant. Aphria was one of the first publicly traded marijuana growers.

Milwaukee Tool is expanding again in Brookfield, with plans to build a $32 million R&D facility - a project expected to create 350 new jobs.
The company has purchased a 3.5-acre site near its current facility that will house an advanced manufacturing research and development facility and office space. The 114,500-square foot, multi-story building is expected to be completed by late 2019.The company plans to create 350 jobs at the facility over the next five years - primarily engineering and software positions with an annual average salary of $75,000.
In 2017, Milwaukee Tool built a new 200,000 square foot, four-story office building on its Brookfield campus. The company has grown employment at its Brookfield campus from just over 300 jobs in 2011 to almost 1,300 this year.
"When you look at the growth our company has achieved in the last decade, the catalyst for our success has been our people. The drive, determination, and obsession of our employees has enabled us to continue delivering disruptive innovation for the professional trades and our distribution partners," said Steve Richman, Milwaukee Tool Group President. "We are proud to partner with the State of Wisconsin to grow a world-class work environment that will continue to attract, retain, and recruit the best talent in the world."
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. is providing $8 million in tax credits, contingent upon the number of jobs created and retained, and the amount of capital investment by the company.
The City of Brookfield is also supporting the expansion of the city's largest employer by providing $3.5 million in Tax Increment Financing assistance to help offset the project costs. "We value Milwaukee Tool as a great corporate citizen and the jobs that are being created are high level, family supporting jobs which benefit our city and the metropolitan area," said Brookfield Mayor Steven Ponto.
The Milwaukee 7 also worked with the company to ensure the expansion took place in the region. "We're delighted that Milwaukee Tool has selected southeastern Wisconsin for yet another significant expansion," said Gale Klappa, co-chair of Milwaukee 7 and chairman and CEO of WEC Energy Group. "The company's decision to again invest here highlights how attractive the Milwaukee region is to global companies that require skilled knowledge workers. We're attracting corporate investment at a pace unprecedented in Wisconsin history."

A bipartisan group of U.S. Senators introduced a resolution that would declare the first week in April as "National Asbestos Awareness Week". This is an incredibly important action, especially in light of the fact that recent data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that deaths caused by asbestos are increasing across the nation (PDF).
"We are enormously thankful to Senator Tester and the 12 cosponsors for introducing the 14th 'National Asbestos Awareness Week'," said President and Co-Founder of the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) Linda Reinstein in a recent statement. "Each year, up to 15,000 Americans die from preventable asbestos-caused diseases while imports and use continue. Undoubtedly, the resolution's momentum and U.S. Surgeon General's asbestos warning will raise awareness and save lives."
