A spacetime cloak, or a history editor (2010)
Journal Article
McCall, M., Favaro, A., Kinsler, P., & Boardman, A. (2010). A spacetime cloak, or a history editor. Journal of Optics, 13(2), 024003. https://doi.org/10.1088/2040-8978/13/2/024003

We introduce a new type of electromagnetic cloak, the spacetime cloak (STC), which conceals events rather than objects. Non-emitting events occurring during a restricted period are never suspected by a distant observer. The cloak works by locally m... Read More about A spacetime cloak, or a history editor.
