Yes! Harry Potter's invisibility cloak could soon exist IRL

How cool would having an invisibility cloak be?

Not that we'd be defeating dark lords or anything… but we could totally get up to loads of mischief with it. Or on the other hand, we could hide with it.

Need some peace and quiet? Invisibility cloak. Don't fancy making dinner tonight? Invisibility cloak. See? It could totally work. 

Well a few Youtubers wondered if this cloak is actually possible to make in real life. And the answer? Yes… maybe.

In a video named What Would It Take To Make A True Invisibility Cloak?, scientists think that it is possible, but it'll be mighty difficult to change the way lightwaves work.

The video begins by saying: "Believe it or not, scientists are getting kind of close to making these dreams come true.

"The key is distorting the way light bounces off an object. We're able to see things when light reaches our eyes. If we want to hide this apple, we just have to change the way that the light gets scattered off of it's surface."

It then gets super technical, which our brains can't handle, but still, you never know…
