Wow. Their Xray Vision Cell Phone Filter.
Here a little something on that...
While it is true that InfraRed has a longer wavelength (and less energy) than Visible Light, this means that it would have a HARDER time penetrating objects, the exact opposite of what the article claims. Not only that, but with longer wavelengths comes lower resolution. Yes, IR refracts less than Visible - but that fact is irrelevant. Radio waves are waves even longer than IR and thus refract even less, so according to their logic, should be even better for seeing through things...
Think of this. When we go to the dentist, we get X-Rays. X-Rays are SHORTER in wavelength and thus more energetic, and, as we all know, are able to penetrate cloth and skin. But when you put something (like food) under an IR lamp, the surface heats up because the IR can NOT go through the object. Superman had it right. These people are wrong.
It hurt me to read about that shit.
