There is nothing more magical than the lure and power of invisibility, and no stronger weapon. It challenges our scientific imagination to new ways of revealing and concealing—penetrating the unseen mysteries of black holes and gravitational waves, cloaking what we wish to hide from our adversaries. It infuses our literature and drives the mythical and religious underpinnings of culture. And by stripping populations of their place in society—the invisible “other” in the form of African Americans, women in Saudi Arabia, the homeless, veterans—it spurs us to action, to create change for the better. Join us as we investigate the concept of invisibility and interrogate what’s seen, what’s unseen, what’s unseeable, and what we do in response.
