Is This Possible? See Through Walls?

    It sounds a bit mad, and it's very sketchy on the details. I'd like to be told i'm wrong, but i'd be surprised.

    Troy dreamed the Angel Light would be able to see through walls with window-like efficiency, and then built it with no blueprints, drawings or schematics.

    “I turned it on—that was well over a year ago—and it worked and it was really awesome.”
    Hmm...

    The story itself sounds too over the top. With the actual things it says are in it, and him describing just a numbness and malaise when he put his hand in it is a bit far fetched. Sounds like he dreamt the whole thing :D

    What I really don't buy is the whole "I could see my muscles working in my hand when I used it on myself" bit.

    sales of lead lined underwear went up when Rontgen announced X-rays a century ago, total hype on the sales mens part. Very low dose X-rays show up muscles , you use the higher doses to see through to the bones.

    current technologies to see inside stuff with electromagnetic radiation are vey nasty and harmful to health

    other ways of seeing inside are with particles like neutrons again very nasty to people.

    lasers can see a short distance because blood is transparent in some regions of the - but this mainly applies to "whities"

    AFAIK the only technology for seeing inside that does not always cause health issues is ultrasound, it works but only in direct contacct with the object..

    So if it worked then probable lots of legal issues on health and safety

    you can see inside objects by looking at waves on the surface - cf. sunquakes and earthquakes but not the same thing..

    I'd reckon file under anti-gravity/perpetual motion.

    New Low power X-Ray used (i believe) in LAX and soon London aeroports

    CAN AND DOES see through clothes - this is to check for body mounted drugs and weapons- YOU ESSENTIALLY APPEAR NAKED TO THE OPERATORS.
