Do you really want to be an invisible man?

David McCallum

For those who were born before 1970s, do you still remember 'The Invisible Man' the series? The American series was starred by a prolific British actor, David McCallum. The series is about a scientist who experienced a terrible accident during his scientific expemeriments, resulting in his invisibleness. But fortunately this invisible man came with a good intension despite of the advantage he gained from the accident. He combatted the evil-doers along the series!

But what will you do if you become like him, an invisible man? Do you want to take the advantage to do otherwise? Imagine if you become an invisible man, you can do various malefactions for your own benefits and for your own pleasures. You can slink comfortably into a movie theatre to watch your favourite new released movies without having to be in the ticket line first! Or, you can steal cash from the cashier's registers at any stores you like, or take this one, you can sneak in the ladies' restroom stealthily to feed your blue imagination! You name your own malefaction! You will do them all with impunity and no one seems to be able to stop you.

Ok. let's drop the word fiction from the phrase science-fiction. We now resort to pure science. Do you know that if an invisible does really exist or in the future if we can create invisible men due to our future high technology, he will have the most critical downside?? What is it?? If you become an invisible man, surely you will become BLIND! It means that you cannot see at all!! How come?? Simple! Our eyes are like a camera, we can see things clearly because there is light to penetrate our eyes! This light will be stopped and will be refracted within our retina and create an image from the object we see in the back of the retina! Thus we can see the object clearly!! Now in the case of invisible man, the eyes are transparent and the retina will fail to refract the light to make an image in the retina because the invisible eyes fail to stop the light! So there will be no image created in the back of our retina thus we will see nothing!! The detail of this mechanism is quite complicated and it is beyond the scope of this posting and beyond the blogger's knowledge! Hehehehe.... But now you know that if you are an invisible man, I'm sure that you will benefit nothing from the advantage of being invisible! Ok?
