Electronic engineers at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia are researching a device they say could make objects "nearly invisible to an observer."

Gosh. Only 62 years after the last time they made something invisible in Philadelphia. No word on whether or not this one warps spacetime as well.

Wow, very interesting.

I thought that'd just show black, but I guess it's like optical illusions; they only work because before what we see goes to our concious mind, it's altered--"fixed"--by our brains to look 'normal'.

That's just wak.

Reminds me of some of the stuff I learnt studying cognitive psychology for a brief period. Stuff like there's a certain part of the brain that deals only with interpreting colour from impulses in the visual cortex, if it ever fails we won't just see in monochromes - we won't even be able to remember what the colour red looked like as we will have no capacity to conceive what colour actually is. Freaky stuff.
