Invisibility Science

The branch of science which studies how to make people, places, and/or things disappear and reappear where they disappeared from or elsewhere.

Mr. Nauyouseeim Nauyudount is one of the few people licensed to disappear and reappear. At a college which teaches Invisibility Science, he is giving a demonstration of his ability to disappear at will and tells the audience, "One second after I snap my fingers I will disappear." He snaps his fingers and vanishes. One loud “AHHH!” floods the auditorium as everyone present reacts to his announced disappearance. One minute later, he reappears on the opposite side of the stage from where he disappeared. Another loud “AHHH!” floods the auditorium as everyone reacts to his reappearance. "Any questions?" he asks the audience. A young lady stands up and asks him, "Where did you go when you disappeared?” "I went into a different dimension... which also exists in the same place where I disappeared from," he says.

Invisible Sciences

The study of phenomena that cannot be directly observed—the realms beyond human perception that nonetheless constitute most of reality. Invisible sciences include quantum mechanics (particles that are also waves), astrophysics (black holes that emit no light), microbiology (germs too small to see), and most of modern chemistry (molecules and bonds). These sciences require instruments to perceive and mathematics to understand; they're inaccessible to intuition and resistant to common sense. Invisible sciences are where most scientific progress now happens, precisely because the visible world has been largely mapped. They're also where science becomes most philosophical, because when you can't see what you're studying, you have to think very carefully about what "seeing" even means.

Example: "She studied invisible sciences—dark matter, quantum fields, the structure of spacetime. When her grandmother asked what she did, she said 'I study things no one can see.' Her grandmother said that sounded like theology. She said the difference was math. Her grandmother was not convinced, but the math checked out."
