Scientists are developing an Invisibility Cloak, would you buy one and how would you use it?

Question

I don't know all the techincal details, but with nanotechnology they are saying it will be possible to bend light in such a way as to make objects invisible. All very sci-fi I know, but if it IS possible, would you use it?

Answer 1

there is already cloaks with small "nanotech" tv screens and inbetween all of that there are little cameras and it projects whats on the other side if the screen its playing on.

Answer 2

If scientists invent an invisibility cloak, it'll never be available to the public until every government in the world has an "anti-invisibility-cloak" wall around every important building in the world, including banks. Way too risky.

Answer 3

Go back to playing Dungeons and Dragons. By the way, it is called a Cloak of Invisibility.

Answer 4

Now you see it, now you dont - LMA Mandrake
The magic is in peoples eyes, i.e., control what peoples eyes see, rather than wasting time money and energy effort on developing invisibility cloak if it is too hard dont try and hide all traces it was ever tried - Commander UFO Roswell Top Secet Ultra Confidential X File - Scold Mulder

Answer 5

No, I would not buy it. There is not reason making myself invisible. I won't steal, I won't break into others' homes, what would I need such a cloak for?

Answer 6

it wouldn't be worth buying or using, because the governments would have alarms equipped with thermal imaging, and high-tech gadgets to spot someone using a cloke to do illegal things, and heat sensors would be everywhere, especially in airports, so if you were trying to sneak on the plane, the sensor would pick u up, and if the guys on the floor couldnt see you, you'd be arrested.

there'd be no freedom to them :(

and the other more scary thing is, what if a serial killer, or a child molester, or both got one, they would only have to wear a jacket packed with ice, and bye bye heat sensors.

Answer 7

I hear the faint sound of teenage boys everywhere trying to get into the girls locker room only to find they've been duped into buying an old, smelly smoking jacket

Answer 8

yes i would and i would use it to visit many places, going in a plane without paying. Also, I would modify my results so that I get a scholarship or make sure that i win the lottery.

Answer 9

Well, have you ever wanted to be a fly on the wall in a high level corporate meeting or political summit.
Thats where i would be.

Answer 10

I would use it to sneak into the offices of the manufacturers and nick the design and make myself humungously rich
