"The Invisible Man" by H.G. Wells, first published in 1897, tells the story of Griffin, a scientist who successfully makes himself invisible. However, his experiment takes a dark turn as he becomes incapable of reversing the process. Driven to madness and violence, Griffin embodies the potential horrors of unchecked scientific ambition and the dangers of isolation. This groundbreaking novel has cemented the Invisible Man as a classic figure in horror literature, exploring themes of morality, scientific responsibility, and the human condition.
In 1933, James Whale directed a film adaptation of "The Invisible Man," bringing the novel's chilling narrative to the big screen.
In 1962, Yakov I. Perelman, in his book "Physics Can Be Fun," highlighted a scientific flaw in H.G. Wells's "The Invisible Man." He argued that if a person were to become invisible by Griffin's method, they would also be blind. Perelman explained that human vision relies on light absorption by the eye, not complete transparency. While Wells touched upon this in Chapter 20 with a cat's visible retinas despite invisibility, Perelman argued it was insufficient. He stated the retina would be overwhelmed with light from all directions, usually blocked by the sclera. Additionally, the absence of a cornea and lens would lead to blurry vision.
