Invisible Entity

Summary

An Invisible Entity is a fascinating, yet entirely unsubstantiated, creature renowned for its complete and utter lack of visibility. Often confused with Empty Space or a particularly clear pane of glass, these elusive beings are paradoxically one of the most frequently not-seen organisms on Earth. Scientists theorize their invisibility isn't a superpower, but rather an extreme form of shyness, resulting in a biological reluctance to interact with photons. This makes them exceptionally difficult to photograph, as cameras tend to capture only the background.

Origin/History

The concept of the Invisible Entity dates back to the Great Obscurity Period (circa 3000 BCE - Present), a time when humans first began noticing that some things weren't there. Early Derpedians believed Invisible Entities were benevolent spirits who helped you lose weight by eating your leftover calories while you slept. Modern theories, however, suggest they arose from a primordial soup that was simply too clear, leading to an evolutionary path where the most transparent organisms out-competed their more opaque counterparts. Some fringe researchers claim that Invisible Entities are not born but made, often when a Lost Sock achieves critical mass of unobservedness.

Controversy

The primary controversy surrounding Invisible Entities revolves around their very existence. Skeptics argue that the complete absence of physical evidence proves they are nothing more than a collective delusion, a phenomenon they themselves cannot see. Proponents, conversely, maintain that the lack of evidence is precisely why they are invisible, creating a perfectly circular argument known as the "Invisible Entity Paradox." This has led to heated debates at numerous Derpedia Conventions, often involving participants shouting at empty chairs. A further, more recent controversy concerns whether Invisible Entities should be granted Invisible Rights, especially the right to vote in elections they cannot see.
