How to Make Things Invisible

Because ginafae commanded a posting...

To make something invisible you will need:

1. The item to be made invisible. "Item"
2. A box bigger than the item in 1. "Box A"
3. Another box bigger than the item in 1. "Box B"

Those two boxes, A and B, will have to be bigger (or smaller) than each other. Work that out yourself, this is just about invisibility.

Step 1: Put Item inside Box A. Now Item cannot be seen. Box A is still visible, so that must be remedied.

Step 2. Put Box A inside Box B. Now Box A cannot be seen. Box B is still visible, so that must be remedied.

Step 3. Without removing Box A from Box B, put Box B inside Box A. This way, box A blocks the view of box B and box B blocks the view of box A. Since boxes A and B block each other from view, neither can now be seen and anything inside both A and B is also blocked from view and therefore invisible. NOTE: While a Klein Bottle has been said to be inside of itself, it's uncertain if it would be invisible since it can only try to block its own view with itself which seems rather paradoxical. However, no sightings of genuine Klein bottles have been reported so it may be that they cannot be seen. There are visible representations of Klein bottles, but these are not the real thing. Another problem is that the Klein bottle is likely as much outside of itself as inside of itself, if it can be considered as having sides at all.

Step 4. Put the weapon down. I didn't say invisibility was easy. It may be simple, but it is not easy.
