Assuming that gravitational waves exist, could wave guides ever be designed to shield objects from the gravitational pull of other masses?

@PacoBell indeed my dear friend finnaly someone who understands the geniuses of nanotechnology
-
that is correct ;)
-
they are going for meta materials instead not the projector.

i dont have to imagine it.. play battlefield 2142 :P

Metamaterials are materials whose's structure disrupts the flow of light on and near the material, causing the light to literally bend around the material and make it invisible. Metameterials get their special properties from their shape and structure, not from their material. Meaning they can't be found in nature. They can only be made by man.
Hope that helped :)

i didn't mean to say nanotechnology i was doing a research paper on nanotechnology and it kinda slipped out
hehe
i know about all the meta material jazz
but i really don't quite understand it.
would you care to enlighten me?
-
lol "in it's nano technology stage." This has nothing to do with nanotechnology. It uses metamaterials that bend light around themselves, meaning that they appear invisible to the naked eye.

Forget cars, imagine having soldiers wear this stuff!
very usefull to have on the roads. millions of invisible cars. :)
god save us all lmao

Achieving invisibility in the optical spectrum does indeed require nanotechnology. The periodic structures must be significantly smaller than the wavelength of the light it intends to negatively refract. Visible light has wavelengths on the nano-scale order. So too then must the periodic structures. Watch Michio Kaku's in depth explanation of the phenomenon on youtube.
