What happens if the facial recognition cameras get it wrong? Or the “visual microphone” detects the wrong sound? Or the emotion-reading or crime-predicting technology of the near future is just quackery, designed to frame anyone the government wants to convict? Sadly, this isn’t sci-fi fantasy; it’s the present and we’re already living through it. Just ask Steve Talley…
Sweet Jesus; I have heard that glass also has an Audio Memory too …
I sure hope my Sliding Glass Door doesn’t remember all the times I bent Little Missy over the arm of the couch cause her passions rose and she couldn’t wait any longer;~)))
Audio memory stored in glass? Don’t worry, there’s no chance of that.
Normally I’d agree wholeheartedly, but after seeing audio reproduced from almost invisible (100th of a pixel) video leaf vibrations, I’m going to say it’s not out of the realm of possibility, and only because glass is actually a super-viscous liquid rather than being the solid most people assume it is.
It’s always flowing, albeit very slowly, but that motion could allow a sound to imprint itself in there. (thousand year-old glass vessels turn out to be much thicker on the bottom than on the top, because of this super-slow downward flow).
It’s not audio memory, it’s the same tech that he showed. The cia have used for over a decade vibrations in glass to hear inside structures. The glass being relatively dense is a good reproduced of sound, well, good enough to replay the vibes.
If it’s moving at a predictable rate, it’s recording time. If it’s also susceptible to being imprinted by sound waves, it’s no different than a Buddy Holly LP on your turntable. ( an electric motor could never move it slowly enough, but in theory, the sound could be recorded there, and reproduced digitally.
yes — I know how they hear conversations in a room by the widow vibrations, but this is a different discussion. Does the sound leave an imprint on the glass?
This was a good find, Hatr. Interesting stuff.
And of all the bogus high tech stuff they’re always trying to scare us with, it turn out that the stuff I didn’t think was bogus, is bogus too.
This is an excellent video that provides some good food for thought.
Yes, there is bogus technology out there, and some unproven technology as well. Some works much of the time but is simply unreliable. But it’s good to be aware of what Big Brother is TRYING to do.
Some of the police state technology in use has been proven to work, but there are countermeasures that can be used against it. Our goal is to learn the countermeasures and then spread the knowledge.
For example, the backscatter x-ray vans CAN see through vehicles. But think of what the x-rays are being used to detect: organic materials such as people, drugs, etc. So, if you want to hide something from one of these vans, simply surround it with innocuous organic materials, such as fruit from a grocery store, bags of rice, etc. (Fortunately, there’s little doubt that these vans are extremely expensive and unlikely to be in widespread use.)
Terahertz devices can’t see through metal. Neither can radar. There’s at least one YouTube video demonstrating a homemade cloak that can hide you from thermal imaging cameras. And so on.
yeah, I hear ya. Knowing what they do have (that actually works) is crucial.
I guess it’s good to know the stuff that doesn’t work too, so it can be challenged in court.
