There could be a scientist standing behind you and reading over your shoulder, as we type.

They're after my data aren't they?

not worried, I'll locate them by their yawns as they watch me.

No, wait. Maybe they're doing a porn study.

i saw this on the news last night. it cant be possible to create the true form of invisibilty in my opinion. you may beable to create the illusion of it with cameras, mirrors, or whatever form of tech. you can be invisible to the naked eye if you were willing to die by getting your molicules seperated, but that is very unlikely if not impossible.

Yes, they are. You better give it to me.

What do you mean "true form"? Being invisible is...well, not being visible. Lone molecules are generally invisble to the naked eye, even if you can see them with a powerful microscope. If it can't be seen at some point for some reason, it's invisible. It doesn't have to be invisible to all things in all frequencies simultaneously.

Funny, i was expecting spoilers for the "Hollow Man" sequel.
Oh well, this'll have to do ...

When I read that, I immedietly waved my hands behind this chair. Just to be sure. They aren't there yet, but as soon as the government gets ahold of this... enter the new realm of NSA spying. Now they don't just tap your phones, they watch you making the call!

So if this device bends all light that comes at you so it doesnt hit you....

How do you see where you are going?

Invisivision? :confused:

Crap. Now that's going to bug the hell out of me.

Erm...

Sonar? o.O

Actually it just makes it "flow around" you. But I imagine that devices that make you see light outside the visual spectrum (e.g. infrared goggles) could be used.

Different spectrums of light. Infrared for one. Or if you really want to spook people out, a full bodysuit covering everything but the eyes.

Imagine that, a pair of floating eyes....

And you can only see them when they're facing you...f'n creepy...

I am willing to die to be invisible. That would creep you all out, wouldn't it? Where's my invisible corpse? You don't know! Maybe my invisible corpse is in the back seat of your car. Or in your food pantry. Or with you in bed when you go to sleep.

You maybe invisible but it does not guarantee you can't be detected using smell.

Well, maybe if you took a bath once in a while...

Finally, I can go sneak into the womans bathroom!

Dogs have much better ability to sniff people out, compared to humans. You'd have to be really clean or scentless.

Or you could spray them with perfume.

Scientists are also working on a germ that will wipe out all canines. Coincidence?

Ah, but they can't smell through water, can they? So you'll just have to walk around in an aquarium!

To all the invisible scientists behind our shoulders. We know you're there....

Getting through the steam unnoticed would be a challenge. Remember, just because they can't see you doesn't mean they can't see that you're there.

I'm sure Sam Fisher or Solid Snake would like to get their hands on this material. :p

if someone is truly invisible, then they would be blind. Visibility comes from electromagnetic waves stricking atoms, bringing their electrons to a higher level charge, and since everything in nature goes for the lowest possible energy spending, the extra energy is released in the form of light.

If I am invisible, then nothing will strike my retina, and I won't be able to see anything at all.
