Researchers from Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., have demonstrated for the first time that it's possible to cloak a singular event in time, creating what has been described as a "history editor."

Between these two lenses, the researchers were able to briefly create a small bubble, or gap, in the flow of light.
