Manage episode 463675286 series 3634665
Jimmy takes on the fascinating world of invisibility cloaks, diving into the science behind light refraction, natural camouflage, and the tech that’s inching us closer to real cloaking devices. With special guest Mark Bennett—a leading expert in optical camouflage and a self-proclaimed wizard of light manipulation—they explore why full-body invisibility remains elusive, how nature perfected the art, and what practical cloaking solutions we might see in the near future. Along the way, Jimmy pitches his ideas for everyday cloaking tech (mostly to dodge Carol from HR) and learns that even his boldest dreams might have a photon of truth. Packed with humor, science, and plenty of surprises, this episode will leave you wondering: what would you use a cloaking device for?
