The Latin word invisibĭlis derived, in Spanish, into the term invisible . This adjective is used to describe someone or something that cannot be seen .
The quality of invisible is called invisibility . This concept refers to the property that leads a body to not be seen by an observer when normal light conditions exist.
In the strictest sense, the invisible is impossible for a human being to see. Oxygen , for example, is invisible: it is possible to perceive it in various ways, but not through sight.
Invisibility can also be generated artificially or simulated. With lighting techniques, an object can be made to “disappear” before people's eyes, even though it is still present and its physical characteristics have not been modified.
Camouflage , on the other hand, helps make a living being or object invisible. That is why this resource is used in the military field when you want a soldier or a vehicle to go unnoticed by enemies.
In the field of fiction, many writers imagined what would happen if an individual managed to become invisible. Generally, invisibility is associated with a power that would allow a subject to do what they wish without being discovered and, therefore, without facing the consequences. HG Wells wrote about it in “The Invisible Man” (or “The Invisible Man”, in its original language).
For fantasy , therefore, being invisible is the dream of many characters, since it gives them the opportunity to move through the world without being detected and accomplish many of their objectives that they could not carry out in a normal state, that is, being detected by others. Whether through an enchantment, a magic potion or even one's own powers, a fantastic being can become invisible, something that is impossible in reality.
Of course, this term has a subjective meaning that we can use to describe the condition of a person in the real world. It is not a change in her subject but rather a lack of communication with her environment that leads her to "disappear" because those around her are not interested in her, they do not seem to notice her presence or absence.
Having said all this, while in fiction almost any character would like to be able to become invisible, this interpretation that we give in reality is absolutely the opposite and no one in their right mind would want it. Being invisible in a figurative sense is similar to not being loved by anyone, not having friends or people who care about you, it is living alone even when surrounded by a crowd. Those who have not suffered this situation may negatively criticize the attitudes of others, as if it were capricious behavior due to rejection of people; However, it is a serious problem that they do not cause on purpose.
To become invisible in society, certain conditions must be met that begin with the personality of the subject. We know that shyness is a serious problem when it comes to relationships, since it causes an emotional block that can prevent you from speaking to clearly understanding what they are saying to you; since it is one of the personality characteristics that usually leads to the state of "invisibility" in groups. Starting from this basis, the lack of self-love and self-confidence can lead us to stay to the side in meetings, to the point that others stop noticing our presence.
Invisible , finally, is the name of a rock group from Argentina that existed between 1973 and 1977 . The leader of the band was Luis Alberto Spinetta .
