Can someone write a short story about an invisible man who has a shadow, and it comes to find that he’s not invisible, just no living thing can see him so does he truly exist?

That’s actually sick. I’ll get back to this

I mean if no living thing can see something, that thing is pretty much still invisible because that’s how visibility is defined. An invisible man with a shadow is pretty cool, though. Maybe he shows up in photographs, but not to the naked eye. A reverse vampire

THANK YOU… I thought after a hit of the joint “an invisible man but he has a shadow, only the sun can see him” then I sat there and went “wait is this fire?”

He is invisible in the concept of vision and perception, but in the concept of physics, he is completely visible

I think you just made up a new definition of visibility. Visibility is literally about vision and perception. Like invisible people who can affect the physical world have been a thing in fiction for a long time. I think this is more like someone thinking they’re a ghost but then realizing they are only invisible, which is also interesting.
