Using Science to Achieve Invisibility I NOVA I PBS
How do we see objects? By intercepting waves of light bouncing off of them and into our eyes, each reflected at a different angle. One way to achieve invisibility is to bend the paths of light using lenses, mirrors, or metamaterials with unique reflective properties. There are a lot of problems still to be solved—and valuable applications awaiting those who succeed.

The tech has been here for at least 10 years already. That's public. Probably longer, and more functional, in secret military applications.

How about using science to debunk this gender-bending crap being pushed by the left?
Actual, hard science & not baked theories from sociologist scammers.
