Scientists have been intrigued with the concept of making objects and even events disappear ever since J.K. Rowling planted the seed with Harry Potter's invisibility cloak. They have had limited success in both so far, by manipulating light waves - bending them to make objects invisible, and making events disappear by changing their speed. Now, some mathematicians are proposing the same principle to protect buildings from earthquake damage.

dogodisk약 13년That sounds really good. It would be really nice because lots of people die from earthquakes. I'm really interested in science and I would like to study that. But with making a building invisible( is it visible to the seisimic wave or us?) will we still be able to see the building? I'm doing earthquakes project at school and it was really fun.
essendon약 13년That is a really interesting idea and seed. I am just wondering if it is invisible, it is invincible.

- Vanessa13년 이상I found this article very satisfying because I never knew that people could prevent earthquakes. I think that the invisibility cloak will help a lot of neighborhoods and save many lives. I think it would be extremely helpful to the cities that have deadly earthquakes like Japan. What you have to do with the invisibility cloaks is, you have to put rubber padding filled with air or some pressurized fluid around a building. However, the bad thing is, is that scientists are not exactly sure if they will work or not, but I hope they do! I would recommend this article to a friend who wants to learn how to save neighborhoods and lives.
sweetypie13년 이상impossible- Nikola P.13년 이상This article was very interesting to me. I like this idea because the "invisiblity cloak" will save lots of cities and neighborhoods from deadly earthquakes and might out stand a earthquake like in Japan. But the scientists aren't certian wether it will work or not work. I do hope it works because it will save millions of lives. I would recommend this article to a friend that wants to know more of how to prevent earthquakes.
- dogodisk약 13년I agree with you that a lot of lives could be saved. Even if we could stop the heat underground. Did you know that the temperatures in the mantle are up to the 4000 degrees celcius and the tectonic plates move with the heat and so they move into each other and create earthquakes. Please reply to me.
