Sci/Tech Science close to unveiling invisible man

[The Helper]

INVISIBILITY devices, long the realm of science fiction and fantasy, have moved closer after scientists engineered a material that can bend visible light around objects.

The breakthrough could lead to systems for rendering anything from people to large objects, such as tanks and ships, invisible to the eye – although this is still years off.

Researchers at the University of California at Berkeley, whose work is funded by the American military, have engineered materials that can control light’s direction of travel. The world’s two leading scientific journals, Science and Nature, are expected to report the results this week.

Pretty cool, but imagine what utter destruction and fear this could bring.

Invisible weapons of mass destruction? That would suck.

So if someone were to have light bending around them so the light would not hit them, how are they supposed to be able to see?

Yay, so it's only invisible to the naked eye =D
Only have to worry of invisible rapists.

Man if this thing ever gets public in the future, there's going to be absolutely focking CHAOS!

Slowly the invisible material will make it into the crime scene, and will cause a lot of problems until the police has special equipment to fight it.

They might invent some new type of Ultraviolet goggles to find it. I'm not too sure.

This will only spur the endless and fruitless battle between religion and science which will continue to hinder the progress of the human race as both sides won't come to a compromise about the application of the technology of it's benefits it's harmful effects and on it's application in the human race. Which will only continue in a endless loop....AN ENDLESS LOOP I TELL YOU!!
