See Scientific American, October 19, 2006, "Invisibility cloak sees light of day."

And in an old Kids Show "The Adventures of Pete and Pete", the live in an unnamed state that borders a time zone, so on the hour of daylight savings time, the cross the border and move yet another hour back. Although both are no real definition of "time travel".. they both keep a person thinking about the posibility of it.

It then could occur that you'd only be visible in certain times that are not necessarily the present time. Just speculation of a rank amateur here, so I'll repeat Terry's question, any physicists out there with ideas?

I do know another possibility -- technically difficult at this point -- is to travel at greater than the speed of light. That way since light could never touch you, you would not be visible. It makes sense but I'm not sure if it would work. Any physicists out there who know the answer? I never thought of invisibility quite that way.
