Will we ever see a invisiblity cloak in the next 100 years?

No, invisibility cloaks are for kiddies that can't handle real life

?????

It has a militairy application, so yes
>>61261372
the truth is it's already developed, as other technologies which are currently in testing
>lazergun pew pew
>anti-gravity
>AI botnets (WanaCry was a test how fast an AI could infect the world, hence it had a kill-switch)
>teleportation
>dimension travel
>time travel (mandela effect)
Most of them aren't puplic knowledge nor are they ever going to be available for the public for the next 100 years.

Problem with invis cloaks is it needs a large spectrum cloak to work.
Current cloaks only work on a very small subset of frequencies.
We've not really found any decent way to scale it up to large sets of frequencies.
That's the real pain with metamaterials.
They are tuned very specifically for small ranges of frequencies.
Think the metal grid on the front of microwaves, they are designed to let light through, but not the microwaves.
It's a very discrete frequency it reflects.
The same applies with metamaterials. Other waves get bounced in all kinds of directions instead of around the cloaked object.
Trying to create a metamaterial that reflects these waves predictably and in a manageable way is seriously fucking hard. You're speaking raytracing to several thousand collisions for simple cloaks.
Truth is, it might even be impossible given current known physics.
