The Invisible Man in Non-Science Fiction
For some people it is weird to realize that there is an invisible man. Well, it is science not magic to create the Invisible Man. Not a breakthrough, but a research study into the ability to make objects and people invisible is getting closer.
‘It’s magic: science gets closer to creating the Invisible Man’ in the Sunday Times tells us that
INVISIBILITY and the ability to see through walls — dreams that were once confined to the pages of science fiction — are moving into the realms of feasibility.
Sir John Pendry, professor of theoretical physics at Imperial, has compared such materials with the “invisibility cloak” seen in the Harry Potter films and suggests that the first could be created in the next decade. “Just as in Harry Potter, nobody would be able to see an object if it was cloaked,” he said. “Our cloaking system would render anything inside it invisible.
Perhaps it is similar to the version of military video game I have played, when almost everything is possible, having an invisible spy to invade others.

In one hand you think science and technology is good, but it is not on the other. Dual world!
