Invisibility: Impossible, but can you prove me wrong?

Question

For years this has been debated between some scientists, skeptics, and other scientists. Ok, so call me stupid, But you must have a logical reason for how invisibility can be possible.

The rules:
NO breaking the laws of physics, the answers have to be realistic please.
NO inventing a machine to break the laws of physics. If you can't break the laws of physics, then no machine can.
NO superpowers. Name one REAL and PROVEN instance of REAL superpowers. Can't find any, eh?
MAKE SURE to be as creative as you want, as long as your theory doesn't conflict with the rules.
NO falling into radioactive waste and suddenly being invisible, I count this as superpowers. All radioactive materials will do to you anyway is give you cancer.
EXTRA points if you can explain your theories of what it would be like being invisible, as long as your theories do not conflict with the laws of physics and any of the rules.

Other than that, have fun! I'm excited to see the answers!

This didn't fit earlier, so here it is:

Also, you can try to prove me RIGHT for the 10 points. Again, have fun with this!

Hmm... The James Bond style. Interesting, maybe I may be wrong agian :P. I never took into consideration the James Bond theory, the cameras on one side of a car and it projects the image on the other...

Or, can you try to explain how one could become PHYSICALLY impossible, too?

Answer 1

Scientists are making an 'invisability cloak', a thick material that can bend light. I'll give you a few articals, here.

= ) I believe I just proved you wrong.

Answer 2

Well two options come to mind, you can develop a suit that has tons of cameras that all over that reflects the scenery from the back to the front and reverse. Or you can observe nature and developer a suite that distorts how light is reflected off of the surface. For example, a stone in a river forces water to move around it and can give the illusion of invisibility because what we see is light reflected off an object, not necessarily the flowing around an object. I know that sounds odd, but I found this article from Reuters.

Answer 3

Visible light is a thin space on a spectrum of a much larger continuum of energy. Invisibility is a subjective term based on the receiver's physical ability to detect certain wave lengths and frequencies of energy. Everything is invisible to a blind man. Alter the receptor or transmitter and light waves can be manipulated. Since you cannot see through an object, the new trick is to see around it. Magicians have known this trick for many years by using mirrors to change the direction of light. Nothing disappears, its just that you can't see it.

Answer 4

well actually they are in the process of developing an invisibility cloak so to speak, if you're a harry potter fan:) It acts in essentially the same fashion as potter's though, it's a cloth you can wrap/wear that will digitally reflect your surroundings in effect making you invisible. It's more camoflauge i suppose, but you will be invisible for all intents and purposes.

Answer 5

Whenever I want to become invisible I just turn out the lights!

Answer 6

1) Poke everyone's eyes out.
2) Hide behind a box
3) Jump into a volcano

Answer 7

when i want to get invisible i just close my eyes and ....nothing is seen ...lol
