Teleportation
Teleportation

If I had a chose between two superpowers, to turn invisible or flight, I would break the rules and choose to have the ability of teleportation. I was ready to answer right away, but I put some thought into this question, such as the capabilities and limitations of these superpowers. If I fly, can I carry people or objects just by touching them (ala Superman 2)? Would I be able to carry something, someone equal to, or more than my own weight or would this be too much of a challenge while flying? I would probably worry about enough sufficient oxygen, since flying requires air to work, just as swimming requires water. The higher I go the more lack of oxygen, the slower I will travel in proportion to the thinning air, therefore no flying in space. In addition, it is very important to remember I am not invincible. Therefore, if I try to fly through a brick wall, I would definitely injure myself; this also applies if I collide with a plane or bird.
If I would choose to be invisible, I hope that everything I am wearing will turn invisible too and I would not have to strip naked or anything. If other invisible people want to, fine, I am not going to stop them. More power to them for being comfortable with there body. I hope that this would not be required.
If I am invisible, would I have a small invisibility aura surrounding me, and would the things caught in that aura go invisible? If I pick something up, does it turn invisible, or does it just float there or if I drop something, would it be visible again, whether I like it or not? For example, if I was wearing an invisible baseball cap, and threw it in the air, would it be visible after leaving my hand? In addition, would it be invisible again if I catch it? If I want that hat to be invisible, do have to tuck it under my shirt (ala Harry Potter's invisibility cloak), or turn visible and then back invisible to catch the stuff I am holding. Therefore, if I were going to choose this

    Elaina Spahmer claims that scientists are " working on a material that can make some objects invisible in certain light conditions". Spahmer constantly compares this cloak to the Cloak of Invisibility as seen in the Harry Potter movies based on the Harry Potter series by J.K Rowling. Also to support her claims and views, she quotes a reporter named Amina Khan from Los Angeles Times. But, according to the reporter, this cloak will allow one to distort an original figure, making it look smaller and "disguise fighter jets as freighters". The claims made by the Amina Khan contradicts the claims made by Spahmer. Spahmer claims that the cloak could make one look invisible, where she claims that "All kids need to do is throw on their trusty cloak, be extra quiet, and they're out of the door". Whereas according to the information of Amina Khan, "Roads could become safer by making cars look smaller, thereby reducing blind spots", the usage of this cloak is not intended to completely mask the object, rather to distort the lights and making the observer see an isotope of the original or a completely new image.…

    Social invisibility is imposed by others because you try to stand out or be noticed, but still don’t get the attention of others. This was made clear in The Schwa Was Here when Ansty and his friends(Howie and Ira) threw Manny Bullpucky(dummy) down a bridge. The head popped out and the Schwa got it, but Antsy and his friends couldn’t see anyone only Bullpucky’s head floating in the air. After they saw a guy that had the head .They were talking and then Ansty couldn’t see him. The Schwa tried to get his attention, but Ansty could not see him.…

    Invisible Man Tone Essay

    • 2131 Words
    • 9 Pages

    The novel is introduced with a prologue where the author acquaints us with the "invisible man" and why he is knowledgeable about his invisibility. His use of diction is simple and informal and his sentence structure provides the reader with short sentences that imply factual information about him. To invisible man; light is truth, people do not accept him as an individual for any matter, and he longs for his individual freedom but finds that the coward within himself stands in the way. The author's imagery of the character's invisibility is apparent throughout the prologue. He presents the reader with an image of a man in existence but a rejection of the very own society that he belongs to. "The invisibility to which I refer occurs because of a particular disposition of the eyes of those whom I come in contact." (pg. 3) Ellison backs up his use of imagery with vivid detail. He talks of society's "inner eyes." These eyes to him are the eyes that replace the physical ones and alter the authentic look on reality. Invisible man's outlook on society causes him to become detached. Because of the character's detachment, the tone of the prologue takes on an eerie effect that is created by a man who lives in his own existence and invisibility. The tone of the character also comes off as dreamy, for this very man longs…

    Myth of Telepinu

    Telepinu was the god of agriculture of the Hittites, people who lived in the ancient Near East in what is now Syria and Turkey. Like his father the storm god, Telepinu had a quick temper. When he was angry, plants and animals ceased to grow and people suffered. The beginning of the text is broken so we do not know the causes of the god’s anger. The thread of the story is taken up at the point where the rage of Telepinu is described. He is depicted as putting his left shoe on his right foot and his right shoe on his left foot, implying that he was so angry that he did not know what he was doing. Enraged, he stormed off into the countryside. After a while he became tired and lay down in a meadow to sleep.…

    Braude identifies that telepathy is a feeling at a distance which categorized into two, telepathic cognition and telepathic interaction. Telepathic cognition as the knowledge of another person 's thoughts or mental states gained independently of the five senses, and telepathic interaction as the interaction which occur without physical contact. Braude also argue that a familiar sort of physicalistic/ mechanistic theory cannot possibly explain the phenomenon of telepathy, for that matter, any form of human communication (6). He concludes that telepathy is impossible to be measured with scientific method due to the unexplainable and randomization/ chance (3).…

    “Kids, back in my days, we didn’t have those fancy teleportation devices; getting to places was a transportation problem. I remember very well those times. Cars now had a modern system of using infrared radiation as energy fuel, therefore many began to buy automobiles since the pollution problem was disappearing. Still, the traffic jams were constant and a solution was being researched. This way, public transportation became the axis of travel of the modern man. Nevertheless, as living and health conditions improved, there were still too many humans in the planet that needed to get from one place to another. We never believed at those times that change was very close.…

    Every wonder how race plays such a huge role in the world of transportation? It’s always a matter of color of the skin or how much money a person has. People take buses to travel from one destination to the next but the question is, why don’t they just walk instead? In this case, race is an important role because of how people react around each other. Transportation to certain areas using buses or car rides is usually for safety because who knows what might happen to them if they travel by foot, many scenarios can be thought of this. What I’m going to write about is how transportation is so conflicted with race from the past to the present, how it was used in the past, and how these two correlate with each other.…
