The Invisibility


Hi Readers,

Its been more than weeks since I wrote something on sci-fi stuff here on the blog. Well let me present something related to invisibility. What is invisibility in real? What would you consider to be invisible? The answer is simple that something that is not possible to see with our eyes. I hope most of you have seen a Hollywood movie “The hollow man”, this movie is quite a nice depiction of invisibility science. If you really think that this hollow man freak is possible as if now than you are surely mistaken but we cannot deny the fact that this isn't possible in future.

So, the question is that is it possible to make someone or something invisible? The answer is yes, it is possible. To know how it is possible, we need to have a little idea of Physics and all that "reflection/refraction blah blahs". According to it, when a light beam strikes an object it gets reflected to our eyes and then only we are able to see the object but sometimes if light beam passes through the object without getting reflected back to our eyes, the object becomes transparent but not completely invisible as it happens with glass since a little part of light beam is reflected back to our eyes. So, if we consider this and try to think that how to deflect the light beam striking an object and not letting it reach the eye, then we can make the object invisible. This is a hard part to achieve since at some angle it is possible that the light beam is reflected to our eyes after striking the object.

I have heard some news regarding this invisibility experiments by scientists though they have not tried this light beam deflection phenomenon as per my information but they have tried some camouflage thing and camera use invisibility. Camouflage thing works in the same way as what the reptile chameleon does to hide. Actually this thing is the use of surrounding color and scene to hide oneself. This is quite lame for scientists to use since it is not actual invisibility. Its like they want to say “it meant the same thing”. The camera use invisibility is like both the sides of an object is having cameras and the video is streamed on the opposite side of camera on a screen. So when you look into the one side of object you see the other side picture making it feel like you are seeing on the other side. This is quite close but need more work to perfect it. There are various lacking in these two process.

Let us get back to what I had in mind, if you consider the light beam deflection theory and let us assume that we achieve this than also I would say that when you touch the invisible object, you should be able to go through it completely, think it like a ghost from which you can pass through. Well if you are thinking that the first part is itself hard and now I am adding new stuff into that and making it harder than you are wrong, what would be invisibility if you cannot make an object untouchable as well. But how to make it untouchable, quite tough though so what I had in mind is to use nano technology in this case. What we can do is, create an object which is a combination of nano robots or nanobots. All these nanobots should have light beam deflection feature and also they should be breakable when ever we try to move towards them they can break and move away and again fuse to form the object. At least in this way we are not able to touch them.

I hope you all have some idea on nanotechnology, if not please try Google, it works. Please share your comments and ideas if you have any. You are most welcome to share this post if you like.

Thanks
