I don't think that is what he was referring to. I think he was intending that it be "truly" invisible. Besides, even the article said it was "nearly" invisible. That is still cool but has too many flaws for practical use. This idea of stopping the light has some major possibilities though. Just throwing this out there, but wouldn't it be possible in the future to use this to record important historic events? Use it as some sort of video storage? I don't know, but am just curious.
