Invisibilidades

The invisibility illusion: The word invisible entered the English language in 1340 via poetry often ascribed to a mystic named Richard Rolle of Hampole, England. The poem, “The Pricke of Conscience,” is an exploration of Platonic metaphysics, describing God as unchangeable, endless, and “invysible.” But historically, the term has been used to describe things that can’t be seen for various reasons, whether they’re too small to detect, like germs, or are just plain hidden from view. In fact, one of the oldest mentions of an invisibility cloak in a science journal appeared in a 1944 article published in The Science News Letter in reference to military camouflage.

Invisibility Isn’t Science Fiction; It’s Interesting Engineering Mind Matters: A number of methods can be used to create invisibility. They rely on the simple fact that things are visible only when light strikes them. But light can be manipulated so as not to strike something.
