Even if you could go invisible, wouldn't you still have a shadow?

Question

Let's say there's a way to become invisible. And were you to do so, wouldn't you still have a shadow because you are still there?

Unless there's a way to make light pass through your invisible self...?

Answer 1

ha

Answer 2

They have recently created a"cloak" which can bend light around the wearer, making it appear as though they are invisible. Therefore, if the basis for invisiblity is this, then technically no there is no shadow as the light is simply bent around to behind the subject.

Answer 3

air is there and it doesn't cast a shadow, does it?

Answer 4

obviously no common sense?  

Answer 5

why are u even asking this?

Answer 6

Good question.  It probably depends on what type of invisibility we're talking about.  If you mean like the invisible man, maybe not, because he, himself, became invisible somehow, in the same way that someone might become super-strong.  Of course, that would also have made him blind, since his retinas would have been transparent.

If you became invisible using some form of light-bending technology ("cloaking", to use the Star Trek phrase), it would probably depend how it's done.  Incidentally, there's been some recent proof-of-concept work showing this form of invisibility might become feasible in the next couple decades.

Answer 7

No but you would distort the space you're covering because the light around will look like it's going around you. Also you can detect some one if thier invisible by using thermal vision camara, by detecting the  radiation you're giving off.
