Invisibility

Invisibility is the state or condition of being unable to be seen; the absence of visibility. It's a concept often explored in science fiction, fantasy, and even in the real world, concerning fields like stealth technology. It typically involves manipulation of light, either to prevent it from reflecting off an object, or to bend light around it. The degree of Invisibility can vary, from total absence of detection to being less noticeable, or nearly impossible to identify. The term also implies the inability of a person to be noticed; therefore, the ability to hide oneself and go unnoticed. It encompasses various aspects, including optical, auditory, and even social aspects of not being detected or observed.
