Since this is an intellectual magazine, although one that doesn't seem to do much science, I've added a permanent link to a lab at Berkeley which specialises in invisible technology. This is for those Standpoint readers who have always harboured the desire to walk into a bank unseen. The reality is not far off if Professor Xiang succeeds in creating reverse refraction materials.

Down Elberry, down.......cold shower for you I think. It is a nice picture. I can vaguely remember the film too- as he unwrapped the bandages he wasn't there. The only woman I ran this one by said she would love to be invisible at literary parties. Maybe she goes to too many of them.

Popular Mechanics magazine now casts doubt on this, or suggests it's not as close as people say. A cover up!
Why don't they just admit it was technology salvaged from the Roswell, NM, UFO crash of 1947? The innovation gleaned from salvage effort have been extraordinary--the microchip, stealth fighter technology, blu-ray video, Tang citrus drink...
