I herd that a group has discoverd a way to bend sound around an object. Now if we can do that there is was to do that with light, right. So that would make that object invisible. Is this theory correct.
I think you might get more of a “double exposure” effect as light doesn’t block light.striker1649 said:well if you learn how to bend light, dosent that mean you can bend light around an object and make it so you can't see that object.

Sound and light can be used to make objects invisible through the use of various technologies such as metamaterials and cloaking devices. These technologies manipulate the way sound and light waves interact with an object, either by bending or redirecting them, making the object appear invisible to the human eye.
The use of sound and light to make objects invisible is still in the early stages of research and development. While there have been some successful experiments and demonstrations, the technology is not yet advanced enough for practical applications. However, there is ongoing research and progress being made in this field.
Yes, there are limitations to this technology. The size and shape of the object being made invisible, as well as the type of sound and light waves being used, can affect the effectiveness of the invisibility. Additionally, the invisibility may only be effective from certain angles or in specific lighting conditions.
While there have been discussions about the potential military applications of sound and light invisibility, there are currently no known uses for this technology in the military. The research and development of this technology is still in its early stages and its practical applications are still being explored.
Theoretically, it is possible to make larger objects invisible using sound and light technology. However, the size and complexity of the object may make it more difficult to achieve complete invisibility. Additionally, the cost and feasibility of using this technology for very large objects may be a limiting factor.
