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.

Love Deactivates Reason

The axiom which states that though need and usually a set of reasons activate and fuel love, to satisfy one or both lover's needs, love, that still unexplained phenomenon which makes the world go round, quickly deactivates reason.
The social scientist realized that love deactivates reason and submitted that new term to help everyone comprehend and track the seemingly mysterious but in reality, quasi-predictable steps love tends to take.

tangibleize

The thought, "The body is a physical manifestation of the soul", can also be expressed as "The body tangibleizes the soul".

Examples of things which "tangibleize" an invisible thing—such as a thought—are words, drawings, photographs, images, and sculptures or 3-D models because those things have transformed a thought or feeling into a visible or tangible representation of them.

And though spoken words manifest thoughts, no one can see a spoken word. To make a word visible, it must be written or typed. Then it can be moved around in a text. Though it is not possible to touch or hold written word per se, they can be said to be tangible because when written, they can be sent in a letter or email, or when printed on a paper or in a book, carried.
