Interesting interview with the author of a book on the science of invisibility.

"Gbur is the author of a new book from Yale University Press, Invisibility: The History and Science of How Not to Be Seen, covering the earliest discoveries in optical physics through to the present, along with how invisibility has been portrayed in science fiction (a longstanding passion for Gbur)"

Ars TechnicaExploring the ingenious science and science fiction of making things invisibleGreg Gbur chats about his book Invisibility: The History and Science of How Not to be Seen.

I started playing D&D because of @drskyskull, who is one of the best DMs you'll ever see. In an ironic twist, he's also an expert on the science of how not to be seen, which he explains in his new book!

If you're a physics or science history nerd, or if you just want to know how invisibility REALLY works, you may want to check it out.
