Inserting spider DNA into silkworms yields a tough fabric that’s far more flexible than Kevlar....
Unfortunately the rules of physics do not bend.That's awesome. But I wonder about blunt trauma / dispersion.

The best we can do is spread the energy over a larger area, and maybe over a greater time.

Sorry, if the goal is to absorb the energy from a bullet impact,Do what?
If you stab your self with a sharp pencil it punctures you, if you stab yourself with the eraser is bruises you.
The idea is to prevent penetration and spread the force over a wider area allowing the victim to avoid the soft tissue injury and survive the shock injury.
Can you explain the time?Sorry, if the goal is to absorb the energy from a bullet impact,
there are just a few ways to reshape the energy to do less damage.

If a round has 1000 ft-lbs of energy at 100 years and is moving at 2700 feet per second.Can you explain the time?
