According to Aquino, as the mass of a particle decreases, its detectability also decreases due to the uncertainty principle. If the mass of an object could be reduced to 0.159 of its rest mass it would become undetectable by any means. It would not simply be invisible but imaginary.
I have always been uneasy with thinking about the cloaking as only a function of light. I thought it actually went beyond that to a point where the object was not really part of our reality or our perceived reality. Perhaps there are other "dimensions" that we are unaware of like star trek's sub-space.
I have been researching the experiments on the nature of light. It turns out that A. A. Michelson made a profound error in the design of his interferometer (1881). He did not include the Doppler Effect in its design. Michelson wrongly believed that the wavelength of light was a standard he could use to measure the movement of the Earth through space and thus look for a slight difference in light's pathlengths to detect the "ether wind'.
Had Michelson properly considered the Doppler Effect, he would have expected hundreds of wavelengths of change as the instrument was rotated, not a fraction of a single wavelength, which is what he found, but only a fraction at that.
When Michelson did his experiment, most people thought the Sun was the center of the Universe. The great Milky Way was not recognized as a galaxy. Then, other galaxies were thought to be just "nebula" within the vast complex of the Universe's stars. As far as one could prove, the Earth only revolved around the Sun at 30 kilometers per hour, that was our absolute motion through space. Michelson looked for the Earth to be traveling at that speed, not the hundreds of kilometer per hour that we now understand as our motion through space. Michelson knew nothing of a "Big Bang", his cosmology was far more primitive than what we know today.
When Michelson did his experiments he went there by horse, there were no telephones, no radio, no electric lights but gaslights and whaleoil lamps: Michelson's day was in what amounts to the dark ages. The Doppler Effect was known as a novelty; it was not ingrained into modern technology and science as it is now. The Doppler Effect was being just introduced into photographic astronomy. Michelson probably never knew it's importance, even if he knew it existed.
That Michelson should have found the Doppler Effect in his results, but that he did not, shows that there is indeed an ether, which is what he was looking for. But the ether Michelson found is not anchored in the foundation of the Universe, although there must also be an ether anchored to that foundation. What Michelson found is an ether that travels with the motion of the Earth. Michelson believed that such might be the case, but he could not find a way to "prove" it experimentally, not realizing that he already had. Had Michelson figured the ether experiment as having to show the Doppler Effect, the failure to show hundreds of "fringes" of interference would have proven an entrained ether.
So,
What then does an "ether" have to do with this discussion? As ether is necessary for there to be transmission of light and other electromagnetic radiation, anything that separates atoms from this "ether" will cloak those atoms from transmitting that electromagnetic radiation and light. If gravity and inertia are also electromagnetic effects, cloaking atoms from the ether might also profoundly affect the physics that rule gravity and inertia.
