As part of an interesting science project physicists in Britain are working on bending time in such a manner that events that occurred during a specific period would become invisible. A blackout is experienced quite commonly by a person who gets drunk and loses time. The scientists are taking this time loss and refining it with a more sophisticated method.

The normally continuous beam of light which illustrates the progress of an event is interrupted by this experimental device. Think of the curtain coming down in between acts in a theater performance. It prevents you from seeing the set being changed. Similarly this device prevents you from seeing how one event melted into another.

This light gap which is created by the device makes the events which occurred during the light gap invisible. To mask the light gap the two ends of the events are connected afterward. There is a cloaked event between the ends which stays invisible. This gives the visual image continuously while hiding the missing event perfectly.

Sounds like science fiction but it may not be impossible for long. Who knows when the scientists will perfect the technique of diverting the light around an event and making it disappear from your existence forever. An interesting science experiment to follow indeed.
