Some forms of fading aren’t disappearance.
They’re survival. Stillness mistaken for absence.
What if beauty never left, only the world stopped returning it?
A short reflection on being seen, aging, and the quiet power of witnessing yourself:

“A spy presses a suit button and vanishes. A wizard wraps themselves in a cloak and disappears limb by limb. A star pilot’s ship blinks out of existence. #Invisibility has captured our imagination... but could this fantasy power ever become real?"

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)"
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.
