Medical Forum / General / Vision / May 2008Refraction Properties of Water as a Substitute of Glass
Since water can bend light, would it be possible to create a lens using separated layers of water to replace standard eyeglasses? > Since water can bend light, would it be possible to create a lens > using separated layers of water to replace standard eyeglasses? Sure. There's a form of water called "polywater" that retains its shape when an electric charge is applied. It's sorta difficult to work with because it's so slippery and hard to drill, and it tends to lose its shape between recharges. Because of their temporary nature, constructs made of this material are called "doodles." They've come a long way working out the bugs since this form of water was discovered. Its malleable properties make it ideal for variable-focus lenses and once the kinks are worked out, you'll be able to wear your polywater doodles all day. -MT > > Since water can bend light, would it be possible to create a lens > > using separated layers of water to replace standard eyeglasses?

Thanks for reminding me - I haven't seen much of Robinson lately. I'm going to have to catch up! And that polywater s#!7 was too cruel...

Oh no you're not. > and it cracked ... me ... up :-D Definitely. There was another variant that came to mind involving doodles and diddles and noodles, but this is a family show ... and "Zetsu" is but a babe in arms ... > Oh, my Sal, she is a maiden fair....
