Footprints without Feet


Think about it

1. “Griffin was rather a lawless person.” Comment.

2. How would you assess Griffin as a scientist?


Talk about it

1. Would you like to become invisible? What advantages and

disadvantages do you foresee, if you did?

2. Are there forces around us that are invisible, for example,

magnetism? Are there aspects of matter that are ‘invisible’ or not

visible to the naked eye? What would the world be like if you could

see such forces or such aspects of matter?

3. What makes glass or water transparent (what is the scientific

explanation for this)? Do you think it would be scientifically possible

for a man to become invisible, or transparent? (Keep in mind that

writers of science fiction have often turned out to be prophetic in

their imagination!)
