WHAT would you do if you were invisible(隐形的)?To many people, this is a fun question.
Do you think this can be true? With recent talks of making invisibility a reality, this fun question could actually become a real problem for people and their governments to consider.
It has recently been reported that researchers in the United States and England are confident that they understand, in theory(理论), how to create an invisibility cloak(斗篷), similar to the one that Harry Potter received from his father. They have already begun to work on it, and are asking for help in developing the material that would be used to create this invisibility cloak.
“Is it science fiction? Well, it’s a theory and that already is not science fiction,” said Professor Sir John Pendry. “It’s possible in theory to do all these Harry Potter things, but we should face the challenge, that is our engineering ability.
“Now, no invisibility cloak has been made yet, but the first testing of invisibility technology could be soon,” said Pendry. “We will have a cloak after not too long.”
Though the idea sounds great, it could be a bad thing if it is used in wars.

Season two of Where Are We Going, Dad? A reality show on Hunan TV is even more fun and colorful than the first. We’ve been able to watch different kinds of father-son/daughter relationships unfold. This time around we see the families at their most happy and awful moments.
Dad: Huang Lei, 43 Daughter: Huang Yici (Duo Duo), 8
| Huang Lei, among his many jobs—actor, director, singer and lecture—is also a farther. He couldn’t be more patient when it comes to take care of his daughter Duo Duo. As the oldest kid in the show, Duo Duo is smart, thoughtful and wise beyond her years. Together, they’re the pair with the most positive energy on the show. | |
Dad: Lu Yi, 38 Daughter: Lu Yuxuan (Bei’r), 5
| As the most stylish father in the show, actor Lu Yi certainly knows how to look handsome. We often see him wearing fashionable clothes, and matching outfits with his daughter Bei’r. But as a dad, sometimes his ability is not equal to his willing. Fortunately, Bei’r is an obedient child who behaves well.
| |
Dad: Francis Ng, 53 Son: Feynman Ng, 5
| These two have the traditional father-son relationship, where the father is serious and the son is obeyed by only a glance. “A tough man with a tender heart” is the best way to describe this actor from Hong Kong, especially when we see him giving Feynman encouragement and support. Feynman is s a strong and independent boy who always tries to hold back his tears in front of the camera. | |
Dad: Yang Wei, 34 Son: Yang Wenchang , 4
| As a father, the former world champion gymnast isn’t as powerful as he was in competition. Yang has showed us his soft, patient and quiet side. Yang’s good life skills make it quite easy for him to look after his son on his own. Yang Wenchang, on the other hand, is a perfect example of the saying “like father, like son”. | |
Dad: Gary Chaw, 34 Son: Joe Chaw, 5 Daughter: Grace Chaw, 3
| It is the most dramatic group on the show. Malaysian singer Gary Chaw may not be so great at parenting, but he certainly knows how to play with his children. The brother and sister are sweet, bright and lovely. Even Gary Chaw tears up a few times, this are what family is for: Family laughs together, cries together and shares with each other their most memorable moments.
