There is new research which has shown that it's possible to render something invisible by bending electromagnetic waves around it. Unfortunately the technology only allows it to be done to something small and only in the microwave band of EM radiation (so it works on light but not visible light yet). It shows that in principle it is possible to make things invisible so given more time and money you will eventually see technology that can make things invisible this way.\n\n"A team led by scientists at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering has demonstrated the first working "invisibility cloak." The cloak deflects microwave beams so they flow around a "hidden" object inside with little distortion, making it appear almost as if nothing were there at all."1\n\nThe research and topic of invisibility cloaking technology is discussed in this mp3 audio file.\nhttp://www.cbc.ca/quirks/media/2006-2007...

assuming you are far enough from the singularity to not be pulled apart the light would seem normal.\n\nTheres a hitch though.  I believe that inside black holes that massive amounts of light / photons exist and you would be blinded by entering it.  I have posted my idea on another question if you care to look it up.\n\nNow to the hitch.  Lets imagine yours is the only light and you could see it for an infinite distance.  In time it would look as if the light was being bent to in the rotation that you had shined it.  The reason for this is that the black hole has warped the space time or the fabric of space, so the light will be following the contours of the warped fabric.\n\nYou would not die after entering a black hole.. well not instantly.  but as you traveled towards the singularity your speed would reach light speed.  at which time, time to you would stop and you would never notice that you had been pulled apart by the absolutely huge gravitational difference between your head and your feet.

I think you are asking about the change in direction or "bending" of a light ray when it is incident to a boundary between media at a nonperpendicular angle. What seems to me to be key to understanding this is the idea that you can think of a "wavefront" of a light beam, very much like a water wave, and that wavefront motion is always perpendicular to the wavefront (ref. 1 and following pages). Also you can think of the wavefronts as wheeled axles rolling from pavement onto grass, and turning the axle as first one wheel hits the grass, then the other. Each wheel slows down on reaching the grass (ref. 2). The first to reach it turns the axle and the second straightens it out. The result is that the axle and direction of motion have turned.

Do you mean "magnetic"?????

We can shape magnetic fields to trap things, but those things must be moving charged particles.\n\nHumans are not magnetic and even a very strong magnetic field will not restrain them at all.

theoretically this is possible if you give out strong electromagnetic radiation, though I think you are just lying

As you know, the 'bending' of light changes its direction.\nSame thing happens to sounds - you can hear sounds from around a corner.

Any electromegnetic wave, be it light, electricity or x-rays, travels in a wave which has amplitude and wavelength.  For every electromagnetic wave, there is also created a magnetic wave that travels along with it.  If the light wave is going up and down, the magnetic wave will br traveling side to side.  This is the basis for the incredibly simple device, the electromagnet.  If you wind copper wire around a tube, and then pass a current through it, the electricity flows, but also creates a magnetic wave, which will be attracted to iron in the same way a regular magnet would.

If it has a strong gravitational field, light will bend towards it. No sucking involved.

NO.......magnetic monopoles havent been discovered yet.\nSo magnetism is still in accordance with Maxwell's equation,\ndiv(B)=0

Actually, a light beam is invisible as well, unless it's shined directly into our eyes.  A light beam is visible in a dusty room, and a magnetic field is also visible when loose iron filings are present.  The reason why magnetic fields seem invisible to us is merely because our eyes aren't tuned to pick up magnetic fields, but that does not say that it's impossible to devise an artificial eye that can "see" such magnetic fields.

Light definitely is bendable by gravitational field, but it is definitely not bendable by electromagnetic, simply because light itself is an electromagnetic wave. If light is bendable by other lights, then you should be able to meet two flashlight's light together and see that the lights bend, which is currently, I don't see

No it can't.\n\nLaser light goes at exactly the speed of light.

Hi,\n\nFirst think about space as a big sheet of saran wrap. Then imagine that mass distorts the sheet, causing wells, or dents in it. now imagine that the photons need to travel along the saran wrap (i.e. traveling through space) and it makes sense that they would seem to change directions with respect to gravity. \n\nThat is a gross oversimplification, but I think that the analogy is roughly correct.\n\nHope that helps, \nMatt

heres the info:\n\nNobody has ever managed to ride a beam of light, although Einstein in his youth imagined what it might be like to do so. Such thinking eventually lead to the special theory of relativity. Although it is still impossible for anyone to travel on a light ray, physicists have managed to stop a laser beam in its tracks! This amazing result builds on earlier work by a research group led by Lene Hau in which light was slowed to 38 miles per hour.\n     Light in a medium travels somewhat slower than 300,000 kilometers per second, its speed in a vacuum. This effect, known as refraction, is responsible for the bending of light in passing from one medium to another. In an ultracold gas of sodium atoms, the index of fraction varies significantly with the frequency of light. The gas is normally opaque, but when the sodium atoms are bathed with secondary "controlling" laser light of a particular frequency, the medium becomes transparent and light can pass through it. Due to the varying index of refraction, a primary laser pulse slows down when it enters the gas. It also becomes greatly compressed. A pulse with a length of one kilometer gets squeezed into a tiny unit one one-thousandth of a meter in length. When the light pulse exits the region of sodium atoms, it expands back to its original length zooming off at 300,000 kilometers per second again. \n     To bring the light to a standstill, Dr. Hau and her co-workers turn off the secondary controlling laser light after the impinging laser beam has entered the ultra cold sample. The medium becomes opaque. One would think that the laser pulse would be absorbed by the sodium atoms. Instead, the information about the light wave is encoded in the atoms. When the controlling laser light is turned back on, the atoms reconstruct the laser beam. It continues its propagation though medium and then out the sample. If the time during which the beam is halted is not too long, the shape of the reconstructed beam coincides to a high degree with the original shape.\n     Imagine a train one kilometer in length consisting of thousands of cars traveling at 300,000 kilometers per second. Suddenly, the track becomes rough, causing the front engine and subsequent cars to come to a screeching slowdown. With the train now moving at 38 miles per hour, the cars pile up and are crushed to the size of an ant. Then a magician snaps her finger and the train disappears but leaves an imprint on the dirt between the tracks. With a second snap of the finger, the imprint vanishes while the ant-sized train reappears and moves forward at 38 miles per hour again. Then the train encounters smooth track. The engine speeds off at 300,000 kilometers per second, and as subsequent cars enter the smooth track region, they too rapidly speed off so that the entire accordion-like structure unfolds. Remarkably, little damage to the train occurs.\n     "Impossible!" You say. Well, in the case of a train, it is impossible because the deformation of metal is an irreversible process. But light is more accommodating and can be stretched or compressed more readily. Still, Dr. Hau's team has done what seems to be magical. Why isn't the light absorbed and lost? How can the atomic information reconstruct the beam? Why isn't the beam greatly distorted when it leaves the sample? The answers to these questions reside in the miracles of quantum mechanics, the dynamics that control the microscopic world of atoms and their interactions with light.\n     A major technological breakthrough has occurred. If low cost means are found to manipulate light in the above manner, then computers and communications will be revolutionized. One can imagine using light instead of electrons to perform computational processes. Such photonic machines would calculate at many times the rate of current computers.
