How the science behind invisibility is transforming Applied Physics | Vincent Ginis | TEDxGhent

In 2006, one of the biggest unsolved problems in Optics was solved. By applying the language of Einstein’s general relativity to the field of Optics, scientists discovered how to make an object invisible, at least in theory. Now, more than a decade later, invisibility is becoming a reality. Surprisingly, the real breakthrough in this story is still hidden in the background: the idea behind invisibility is transforming many different branches of Physics. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
