I say "invisible" because I never see the files in OS X but they are sometimes visible in Windows depending on the Show Hidden Files setting. I'm not even sure what all the invisible files are used for, but I do know an invisible file is created for every file you create. I imagine it has something to do with recovering data, but I can't be sure.

I did a little mac programing, they are called "finder hidden" files, that is every mac program can see them but the finder which is equivalent to windows explorer just doesn't show them.

I used to use norton utilities for mac to make finder hidden files just for fun, and to hide my top secret documents. There were invented because mac OS basically started out as an operating system for idiots and Steve Jobs didn't want users erasing the file association tables for instance while Bill Gates included regedit32 with every copy of windows and we all know how well that went over.
