| Physicists have actually figured out how to make an object invisible to the human eye by using strange new materials not found in nature.
The Method:
"The way they did it most closely recalls not Harry Potter but another fictional character: the Invisible Woman, a Marvel Comics superhero who can bend light waves at her command, rendering her body and clothing imperceptible. By tightly controlling the bending, or refraction, of microwaves as they pass through a custom-built material, the Duke researchers could force them to detour around an object so that the microwaves are neither absorbed nor reflected. If they performed the same feat with visible light, a viewer looking directly at the object would see only what lies behind it, as if the object were not even there."
The Setback:
"To see, the eyes must absorb light--which, of course, makes them visible. "If Harry Potter wants to see through his cloak, then his eyes would be visible, because they have to see. And if they have to see, they have to be seen." Leonhardt says. For example, a fish that camouflages itself by being transparent has eyes that are not transparent, because they have to see. Yet Harry Potter can see through the invisibility cloak. That, I think, is not possible. He would be blind behind it."
*What they forgot to take into consideration, is that Harry could possibly possess the whore eyes, which can not be explained by any law whatsoever. Speaking of Harry Potter, I'm guessing you all heard about that new role in Equus that Daniel Radcliffe will be playing. Well in one scene he is required to simulate sexual ecstasy while riding a horse naked. But Davies said nudity was not the focus of the play.
Which one is the REAL Tara?
