Harry Potter Alive?

Out of the many reports I have read online, only one caught my whole attention. This article had the title of “'Invisibility cloak' uses lenses to bend light.” Sounds familiar? If you have read the Harry Potter series, this will be the perfect article for you.

A student at Rochester University named Joseph Choi and a professor named John Howell developed this “cloak” by using 4 standard lenses. The lenses are placed at a certain distance from each other so it allows the light to act in specific ways: first focusing it down to a fine point through one lens, then again through the next. This is repeated 3-4 times. The lenses bends the light so that an object behind it is not visible to a person peering through the first lens. It is the first device to leave the background completely undisturbed.

  1. I think this is cool because eventually people might be able to make themselves completely invisible using lenses

  3. I think that's cool that someone found a way to use light to turn people invisible, and I also think that someone will eventually come up with a way ,using the same method, to make a cloak that people can wear that turns them invisible
