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.

- David P.13년 이상This article was very interesting and the idea might work in the future. Think about it, if the"invisiblity cloak" works in the future it will save many lives from deadly earthquakes and it might even prevent an earthquake like Japan`s. But it is still uncertain wether it work or not so I wouldn`t get my hopes up to high, but there still is a possibility. I hope that it will work because it would save people. And I would recommend this article to all my friends because they might also like the idea of the "invisibility cloak".

- Joris B13년 이상Very very interesting article about how building could be protected from earthquakes. To do that builders should put giant rubber padding with air into the ground. This make's buildings invincible during earthquakes. I think it is really cool. A lot people life's could be saved around the world.
cherryheart14313년 이상This is so cool!- Alexandru13년 이상This article was very interesting and informative. I think that after the results of this experiment are analyzed, the "invisibility cloaks" should be applied to water treatment plants, nuclear sites, power stations, hospitals, and bridges in earthquake prone regions. This will be a great help to disaster relief efforts, and help saves millions of lives.
