How scientists are creating real-life invisibility cloaks - Max G. Levy

[@pingo1387]

An interesting point: If you became invisible in the sense that all light perfectly bends around you such that observers only see what’s around and behind you, you yourself would be unable to see, because the light is bending around you and not reaching your eyes to give you information.

[@phoenixflamegames1]

Exactly. So it’s just not possible if you want to keep it useful

[@ishwantsingh955]

could use a simple screen inside the cloak connected to cameras outside it to project what is happening to you

[@ishwantsingh955]

@@phoenixflamegames1 very limited mindset. If truly possible, the implementations would be endless

[@pingo1387]

@@ishwantsingh955 But then you would be limited to the camera’s range, right? And if you brought the camera with you you’d have a camera hovering outside your invisible body. Not great for stealth purposes. The projection/feed screen would also have to be close to your face if you want to keep your invisible radius as small as possible.

When they finally invent invisibility cloaks, introverts are going to treat them like pajamas

[@AfraidMonsters]

exactly this. I'd literally be invisible for 99.9% of my life. I'm introverted and also just... don't like myself. I want to hide from the world. Just be an observer. Avoid socialization, but observe them. etc. However, if invisibility is finally unlocked in a lab somewhere; there's no way it'd be released to the public. like... ever. too much potential for crime, avoiding laws, punishment, responsibilities, family, parents, school, running away, etc. the only way I could see it happening is if only if a hero released it when he wasn't supposed to. extremely unlikely. and even then, him being considered a hero would be mixed between society. idk. if invisibility became widespread and mainstream like how you suggested, heat vision goggles would also become widespread. as in, like everyone needs to wear them to avoid being robbed/bumping into ppl, etc.

[@homefreedome217]

Exactly 😂

[@TheStoicBeacon-TGG]

Wow, what an intriguing story! It's fascinating how life sometimes brings unexpected connections, like this one. It makes you wonder about the little moments that could change the course of someone's journey. Do you think there's a hidden meaning behind the picture, or could it just be a coincidence? What would you do if you were in the billionaire’s shoes?

What about camouflage? Isn't that considered a sort of invisibility as well?

[@ChristophBrinkmann]

Strictly speaking, no - camo is meant to give the observer the impression that the camouflaged person or object is part of the scenery. Definitely related, though

I was waiting for somebody to make a video on this

[@AfraidMonsters]

Invisibility has always been something I wish I could turn off and on. I've always wished for that and for invulnerability + immortality. I know all the bad response "immortality" gets but idc. I'd suffer through all the losses of people and pets and family. I want to help shape society into being better than it is now. And observe it. I can honestly say that I'd pick that. Maybe in my lifetime de-aging will happen, as articles have been saying. But I doubt it, unfortunately. Also about the "invisibility" I'm really glad they mentioned it near the end. because I watched that movie called the invisible man and I wondered - why don't scientists just make a suit like that? I guess the lag thing is true. but still... You'd be invisible for the most part in a place that doesn't have much movement.... :o so where is the suit?

[@Devkantdey]

It's wild to think that invisibility cloaks might not just be a thing of fantasy anymore! This video really shows how close science is getting to making it a reality. 🤯 From bending light with metamaterials to other new technologies, it seems like we're stepping into a world of magic! 🧙‍♂✨

[@RuoShiLi]

I could imagine an "invisible" tank already used; just paint it un obsenely contrasing stripes and soldiers will simply refuse to believe their eyes in front of the sheer absurdity and turn their brain off and ignore it.

[@BambinaSaldana]

Wasnt that basically already a strategy in WW2? Just with a different effect

[@explorer_1113]

not with tanks, but with ships. Painting it in contrasting stripes caused observers to misjudge its distance and shape

Why not simply use a continuous LED screen around the vehicle, paired with cameras that will simply reproduce the colors of the surrounding area? They already have flip phones with bendable screens.

Cuz that’s be a flat image. People have to eyes you can distinguish a screen from actual 3d shapes

Your claim is not any less exagerated than theirs. It just turned out that first soft limits are much closer that AI bros hoped or promised, and it is the same uphill battle as any other technological field. Each new step is exponentionally harder than the last. But AI is not "failing" and its not going anywhere. And for us, regular humans, its actually the worst.
