21、 youve got some ideas, its time for the hard part: building the cloak. To do that, you have to give up science fiction and turn to real science. An invisibility cloak has to cheat anything or anyone who might be watching. In order to understand how something can be seen, its important to understand
22、how we see.Human beings can only see objects that reflect (反射) light waves. These waves enter the eye and are then processed by the brain. However, if an object doesnt reflect light, then the waves dont enter the eye, and the brain doesnt process. So building an invisibility cloak is building someth
23、ing that doesnt reflect light.Cummer was part of a team of scientists from Duke University, including David Smith and David Schurig, who built the worlds first version (版本) of an invisibility cloak. They had been inspired by the work of a British physicist, John Pendry. He in May said that an invisi
24、bility cloak was possible and Pendry was not the only one thinking about a disappearing act. At the same time, a Scottish physicist, UIf Leonhardt published a paper on building invisibility equipment.“It wasnt easy,” says Cummer. “As often happens in science and research, it didnt work very well the
25、 first time. That first cloak didnt work like Harry Potters - the scientists didnt actually see anything disappear.
