Can an object be invisible?
To become invisible, an object must do two things: it has to be able to bend light around itself, so that it casts no shadow, and it must produce no reflection. While naturally occurring materials are unable to do this, a new class of materials called metamaterials is now making it possible.
Are eye floaters alive?
Floaters may seem to be alive, since they move and change shape, but they are not alive. Floaters are tiny objects that cast shadows on the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye. They might be bits of tissue, red blood cells, or clumps of protein.
Is anything truly invisible?
The good news is that the new research confirms that invisibility is indeed possible. It may get more difficult to keep things hidden from more than one wavelength of light at a time, but objects can be completely cloaked on a single bandwidth. It almost sounds too good to be true.
Is it possible to make an invisible object?
A human could be made impossible to detect in longer-wavelength radiation such as microwaves, but not from visible light. A spaceship might be made transparent to radio waves or some other long-wavelength detector.
How does invisibility depend on the eyes of the observer?
For example, invisibility depends on the eyes of the observer and/or the instruments used. Thus an object can be classified as “invisible to” a person, animal, instrument, etc.
Can a person be completely invisible by wearing an amulet?
In fiction, people or objects can be rendered completely invisible by several means: Magical objects such as rings, cloaks and amulets can be worn to grant the wearer permanent invisibility (or temporary invisibility until the object is taken off).
One step customers can take to avoid unwanted, hidden, and invisible objects in their document is to find and remove the objects after the paste operation as part of their data cleansing process. Below is an image of part of a data set I copied and pasted into Excel 2007 from a website.
